Dunbartonshire / CHILDREN'S HOMES IN ALEXANDRIA
« on: Thursday 18 June 15 16:29 BST (UK)  »
Good afternoon,

I was wondering if anyone knows if there were any children's homes in Alexandria Dunbartonshire around the 1930's.I am trying to trace my birth mother it has been ongoing for many years. If she wasn't in a children's home she might have lived in the Bonhill area she has a brother that I know about but not sure about his age she was about 4 years old. I know they were both Baptised in the local RC church and I have their names and there mothers name two infact. Later on in their childhood they were placed in Smyllum Home in Lanark. Any help would be great.

Thanks for your reply Agnieszka,

I couldn't PM you as I am just new.I have always know my mother was in Smyllum but had never done any research and was out the country when all the investigations were going on.

I don't know where to start in searching for her or my brother.

Have left some messages on other boards, one which looks promising,well I hope so.

Now I know a little of what she might have gone through is making me more determined to find out what happened to her.

Please point me in the right direction if you can .JJx

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me,I am looking for information on my birth mother she was in Smyllum as a child until she left at 16 I think.Her name was XXXX and she was born around 1928 so she would have been there during the 1930's and into the 1940's.

I am trying to find her if she is still alive and also my brother how was 3 years old when I was given up for adoption in 1958.I don't have much to go on really but I am giving it a go.

It was only today after chatting with someone that I came to the internet on googled Smyllum and I was very sad to read what went on there.Now I understand why to so much and I can see reason in a lot of what my birth mother did now.
