Does anyone know the name of the Doctor that helped organise the private adoptions

http://chaimsimons.net/B.html
This refers to an adoption that refers to a Dr F who performed a circumcision on a Baby boy at the home.
There was a Dr Samuel Fine whose surgery was on Seymour Grove Old Trafford this was not far from the home
He was from Ireland and Jewish.Another Jewish Doctor was in Hulme Chester rd who must of had a connection to this home as he was the Family Doctor of my Husband's family my husband was born at Doris Court in 1956.
He was my family doctor until he retired in the early 80's

Hi Lib,

I'm not sure I can yet - I might need to up my post count before I can. I have a few queries about other branches of the family so I'll post here and there.

In between time, you might wish to try me.

I've tried to attach the picture of my grandmother Susan's wedding party. Mags, her sister, is in the middle. I think my mum said there are also Halfpennys, and Rose Dignam (behind Mags), and supposedly a Rainey or two on the right hand side? I'd need to ask her again.

Do try my PM - great to make contact.

All the best,

Karl

Many thanks sending it to my Sister to show my Dad.

Hi iam new to this site have vvisited it many times but now feel inspired to join.I was born in doriscourt In1960 my mum was unmarried and 19. Mary Walsh organisedmy adoption through tthe Catholic Church. I had a very happy childhood and managed to trace my mum although she died before we met.i am planning to travel to Manchester this week to the site of doriscourt I know it is no longer there but feel the need to go and thanks for the photos whoever posted them.im happy to correspond with anyone in the same boat

Did you manage to see where Doris Court was?I live 5 mins from the place. My husband was born there in September 1956.It's now called Russell Court.Whenever I walk past with my husband I always say the secrets untold.Unfortunately my husband no longer speaks to his mother so I can only remember what she said in the past.

It's Upper Chorlton Road.

I never had my babies removed to the nursery.Had my first in 1978 the ninth in 1999.Some Ladies might of had a Stirrup experience for other reasons.My Mother in Law seemed to think it was common practice when I had my first.I walk past where Doris Court was and often it makes me think of its hidden past when I see the number still on the Gate Post.Only last Friday I was looking at it.
