The Reoch family in DUNDEE,

[shelly 65]

It was archives@dundeecity.gov.uk i emailed,would that be the correct one?They were extremely helpfull,but could'nt help me..I did look into Barnardo's Salvation Army,Quarrier's and Aberlour.nothing.,I was thinking more of the Dundee orphanages or childrens homes..I can remember when i was around 10yrs old1955ish,my dad mum and me went to a childrens home in Dundee and we brought home a girl for a holiday,one week then we took her back.Cnnot remember anymore about the girl or the place,athough Caroline? house/home rings a bell.
Thank you again..

but cannot find marriage or death of Ethel.

She got married at 17 and still used my grandparents surname,even on her gravestone the same..

Sorry - but the 2 statements are contradictory - can you clarify?

Morning,is it CaroleW,that sent me the last message to clarify what i am looking for.?I do understand its a mixed up story and search and i am obviously not good at putting it over.
Ethel no Surname,no Birth Cert.,thought her birthday was late Oct.,early Nov,1915.She was taken in or fostered by the family Connelly at a young age,from then on her surname was Connelly.
What i am searching for is an Ethel born as close to Oct/Nov 1915,probably illegitimate,to see if i can find out her real surname,and how she landed up with the Connelly household..
The Ethel N Reoch seems a good match,thats the only reason i am trying to find out about her.
  Hope i have explained it clearly this time.

So - she married as Connelly but it's guesswork she was born as Reoch? 

You say she married at 17.  Did she marry in 1933 to Gordon White?  If so - she married as Ethel Edna Connelly.   If that is her marriage - have you downloaded a copy of the cert from Scotlands People to see what info she gives about her parents?

Yes Caroline,she was married as Ethel Edna Connelly(not sure where Edna came from) to Gordon White in 1933.She had 2 children to Gordon,Ruth 1934,i think) and Les 1938,they divorced in and around 1944/45..Then Ethel married a man called Calder,who her son LES took the Calder name..I know all about my Aunt Caroline,she passed away in 2000 in Australia,her son Les we still keep in contact with,as he is a few years older than me,i am left with trying to find his mum's Real Birth Name..and how the Connelly's got her..in 1915/16/or 18.

Oh ,and yes David and Rachel Connelly was on her marriage cert., as her parents..but they were not her real parents as she had been fostered out to them,
