Cork / Re: Mary Celine Nursing Home Summerhill Terrace Cork

I too may have been born there and I have no record of my birth. Through DNA I have established who my bio parents were. I have met cousins, they are all from Cork. Both parents dead now, but I believe the sister in law of my mother worked there late 40s/ 50s. Please any information would be grateful. Also does anyone know what the name of the local parish church was as this would have been usedfir baptism. Thank you in advance

No problem I used Ancestry they have the biggest data base. You can also upload the test results from them to FTDNA and My Heritage.
I think for those with no or little paperwork it’s the only way to go.

My paperwork is from Nurse Farrell and she informed the authorities I was born in Nurse Gallagher home. All complete lies. I have done a DNA test and made contact with my birth fathers great nephew. Looks like I was born in Cork not Dublin. I was born in April not August as stated. I was driven from cork as a baby to be fostered out by Nurse Farrell.
Do not beleive any type of information you get from either Nurse Farrell or Nurse Gallagher. They lied through their teeth to keep babies identity a secret. I advise anyone looking to do a DNA test.

Yes what you are saying is true. If the midwife or an institution registered the birth. A lot gave the wrong DOB to try to stop people in the future tracing the family.

Debra I can not be sure of anything to be honest, I know they lied about dates of births for others. You should look on the Adoption Rights Alliance. Lots of avenues there with support and advice. They have a site on Face Book

I would apply under both, at one time one of them was free but not now. I would word any letter as under FOI and Data Protection.

I have been the GRO no luck. The problem I have is I don't know who I am. The answer I get is well your birth has not been registered. In those days the falsification of information was rife. It was to stop people finding out the truth. I was never adopted but fostered at first the HSE denied any involvement. I then asked for information under the FOI act and got the foster information but they said they didn't have a birth certificate or birth name.

I was 5 months earlier lol August 1950. Although I was born there I was handed over 7 days later. From the nursing home in the North Circulat Rd the go between was Nurse Farrell. So until I got some paperwork I always believed I was born in the home I was handed over in. So worth your while looking for a go between x

I have tried all the right channels. But as I don't have any name to go by they can't help. I only know I was born there in 1950. Unfortunately the name I went by was that if my foster parents. Babies born in the private nursing homes were usually fostered out privately no agencies involved. However the adoption act only came into force in 1952 and babies born before that were fostered. When the act became law the majority of the children were later formally adopted. I was not one of them. Good luck with your search X
