St Teresa's Orphanage, 18 Morningside Road

SUZI Millar, who is tracing her familytree, writes: "My greatgrandfather's three sisters, Annie, Violet and MaggieMartin, were placed into St Teresa's Orphanage, 18 Morningside Road, some time between 1898 and 1901 by their father James Alexander Martin. I can find no trace of their mother, Annie Coleman, after this time and their father moved through to Glasgow where he died in 1919 - never seeing his children again. Does anyone know of the orphanage?"
