Dear Helen,

Thank you so much for replying to my pleas, I'll certainly see if I can follow up on you lead and obviously if I have any luck I'll let you know. Recalling my mother's impressions of the place where she was lodged it may well be that those authorities who could provide information are not keen so to do.

I'm intrigued by your mentioning the NAS. As a retired schoolmaster the initials imply the National Association of Schoolmasters (& Union of Women Teachers), but perhaps I'm reading too much into them.

Thanks again for replying, any news and I'dd be in tough again via this site

Reagards

Hi,

I'm also looking for Catholic orphanages in the Edinburgh area in the 1910s to 1920s my mother and at least two sisters were sent there. Sadly she wouldn't talk about it and so I am ignorant of an important part of her life. If I do come up with anything I'll post it here

Jim
