Try a website called Ireland Reaching Out.  They have volunteers from parishes who help with information.

Hello everybody,

St. Joseph's Orphanage, Tivoli Road, Dunlaoghaire run by The Daughters of The Heart of Mary no longer exists.  They closed it down and moved to Wimbledon, London and the site was redeveloped.  I left a previous post on where to contact them under the subject of St. Joseph's Orphanage, Dunlaoghaire.

Residential Institutions Redress Board on the Internet.

Hello Everyone,

I was resident in this orphanage in the late 1950s and early 1960s.  It consisted of a convent, orphanage, day school and various businesses run by the nuns of The Daughters of the Heart of Mary, and staffed by the children (unpaid).  They later sold up and moved to Wimpledon London, U.K.  the convent and orphanage were demolished and a medical facility now stands in their place.  The address for them in Wimbledon is Edge Hill, London SW19 and the telephone no. +442089460305. If you require any further information I will be happy to supply it.

Dear Lou,

I'm so sorry that I was late in replying to your request for information, I only discovered this site recently.  It's heartbreaking to hear that your mum has passed away. I hope she had a peaceful end and a happier life after the orphanage.

Best wishes.

Hi Lou,

I was in St. Joseph's orphanage tivoli road for 3 years, from 1959 to 1962.  I remember names and events that took place at that time.  I should be pleased to let you have the information to help your mum.
