I am working on my family tree and am researching information on my grandfather George Aberdein (born in Dundee in 1896) and his brother David (born in Dundee in 1893). My father says they were both in an orphange in the Granton-on-Spey area in the early 1900's and worked in the fields surrounding the orphanage. I believe they left the ophanage and enlisted with the Seaforth Highlanders during the First World War. Their sister Annabella (born in Dundee in 1891) may have also been in the same orphanage. I'm wondering if the orphanage may have been Aberlour and, if so, whether any official records are available. I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks, Graham

My father Bernard Francis Altman Forbes was born in 1914. At age 18 months he was put in the Aberlour Orphanage and apparently on his records he was not allowed to be adopted out. He left the orphanage at age 14. He then went to live with a family in West Ham London, England (the man was a chaffeur) and subsequently joined the Merchant Navy, the army and was discharged in 1946. He brought me to New Zealand at age 16 years (1972) and I have lived here ever since. My partner and I are coming to live in England (leaving New Zealand 27th November 2008) and we wish to find out more about my dads time in Aberlour Orphanage. There may be some connection to the Rickett family (Rickett & Colman) as Lady Rickett was dads godmother and there was a bible left for dad with her name in it. Any one who may have been there with him (or your father/mother)it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks Mark Arthur Forbes & Julie Ann Sharman
