Hi DAve, was looking through your post and was glad to see you are able to get in touch with the present owners. I was in St Anne's Mother and Baby Home in 1966 and would love to go back to have a look at the old house. Do you think the owner would let me have a look round for old time sake ? I know it is a lot to ask but as I get older it somehow seems more important. I had twin boys at the time who where adopted. Thanks, Jackie.

Hiya sheila, I am not able to see your email address so I have sent a friend request on FB but don't know if it is you. Tried to send a personal message but it said it couldn't find you. Jackie x

I have a photograph of the girls I was in the home with but don't know how to send it on here. I am still in touch with one of the girls I was in with. She kept her daughter. The home is still there but it is like a community centre I think. There appears to be a nursery built to the left as you look from the front. There are also houses built facing too. There wasn't when I was there. Was it called St Anne's Mother and Baby home whilst you were there ? Who was the Matron was it Maureen Suckley and was Mrs Young in charge of cleaning?. Jackie.xxx

Lovely to hear your story Sheila. So pleased you were able to keep your son. I wanted to keep my twins but was made to go down the adoption route. I think if I had had one baby I would have stood my ground but sadly I didn't. Knowing what I know now I would have done but hindsight is a wonderful thing and it did make me stronger. I was lucky enough to have three more children but I still cannot get my first boys out of my head. The only thing is that you have to consider their parents as it must be awful for them. I have done all I can to search for them but keep coming up against a brick wall. I have even applied to Long Lost Family without any luck. Best wishes Jackie x :)

Hello there Jackie here. I was in the mother and baby home in 1966. Whilst it was hard at first, I think we did have some fun under difficult circumstances. I had to have my twins adopted which I have regretted to this day. Nice to find a like minded person. :D

Simpson Hill Was also known as St Anne's Mother and Baby home. I know as I was in the home in 1966. When I was there the babies were born in Fairfield so check Bury birth records. Good luck.Jackie
