I would just like to say that back in 1951 St Teresa's was used by the National Health service as a maternity hospital. I was born there in July 1951 after my Mother was sent there by her GP, we lived in Battersea in London and our GP was in Wandsworth which was the catchment area for St Teresa's.

Mum was sent there as she had had a normal pregnancy and although she was 31 and it was her first child they felt she was not at risk of a difficult birth. She proved them wrong as I was a ceasarean birth. Both of us were looked after very well, staying in for approx. three weeks and cared for my nurses and doctors on the NHS and the a large number of Nuns from the local convent.   

I feel previlaged to have been born in such a calm and caring enviroment.

Thank you, my error in typing I had his birth as 1805 knowing that his parents were John and Margaret (Lobb) and knowing that his borother John was baptised in 1804 at St Saviour, so knew the family had moved from Devon to London by Robert's birth.

The question I ask is how realiable is the IGI index as I have found on several occasions similar records ie names , dates etc. for other ancestors?

My main research now is on both of his wives, no trace of anything for Maria Mullings, and Lucy I have parents of David and Lucy Jones.
