Hi, thank you so much for your replies.
Yes kirsty, the Kathleen you mention is my sister. I have copies of both her birth and death certificates.
I was just hoping to find someone who knew her, maybe get some insight to her life.
I know she lived in St John's cottage in Montrose when she passed.
I feel so bad, we (her 8 sibling's) didn't know of each other until last year. I really believe life could have been different for her had she know she had brother's and sisters so near by. 
We all had the same social worker, a Miss Cuthbert.  Miss Cuthbert signed Kathleen death certificate.  None of us were ever reunited, even though 3 of my siblings were all living in St Olafs at the same time.
Fife social work department have given the family very little information in regards to Kathleen's life.  They couldnt even tell us what they did with her remains. 
Thank you again

Hi, I know this thread is an old one... I'm hoping you can help.
I was adopted from birth in 1951 and recently discovered i had a sister who was in care from birth until she died in 1967. I know she stayed at St Olaf's on and off throughout this time.
My sisters name was Kathleen Cotter. She also liveed in Montrose.
I managed to find a news paper detailing Kathleen being gifted a doll from under the Christmas tree by the Lord Provest of Kirkcaldy in 1956.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could share any information about Kathleen.

Thank you
sheila
