Tenterfield Girls Orphanage Haddington
A Memory of Haddington.
In my Family History endeavours concerning a Shewan family , I have learned that
the parents died at a relatively young age .
The fate of the orphaned children has been difficult to ascertain.
However , at least one of them can be traced to an orphanage , as evidenced by
the 1901 Scotland Census , reproduced below :
Name: Isabella Shewan
Age: 16
Estimated birth year: abt 1885
Relationship: Orphan
Gender: Female
Where born: Banchory Ternon, Aberdeen
Registration Number: 709
Registration district: Haddington
Civil Parish: Haddington
Town: Haddington
County: East Lothian
Address: Tenterfield (girls orphanage)
Occupation: Domestic Servant (in Training)
ED: 6
NOTE : The reference , above , to Banchory Ternan having been situated in Aberdeenshire is incorrect - the parish was attached to Kincardineshire.
I wonder about the nature and history of the Tenterfield Orphanage , and the availability of a photo ?
