Lancashire / Re: single mothers home run by nuns
« on: Monday 13 October 14 05:29 BST (UK) »
Ok, some additional information I have is mostly from a birth certificate, a baptism certificate, and a note from a Dr. who certified I was in good health.
Baptised at St. Thomas of Canterbury higher Broughton, Salford 7
Baptised July of 1951 by Rev. Francis Mark Occlesion and sponser Bridget Condron.
The doctor was located at 361 GT Cheetham Street E HR Broughton. Date of the exam was January 1952.
My birth certificate lists my mother as a 'hotel kitchen maid of 61 Broom Lane Broughton'
Lists my mother as M M Cunnane. Lists nothing for father or father occupation.
States I was born at Hope Hosptial.
Finally lists 'Adopted J H Temple Superintendent Registrar'
I have been researching quite a bit and have went through the entire process for adoption records via the GRO but seem to have come to a dead end as far as how to go about getting the records. I was instructed to apply to the Birkenhead Court for the name of the Agency to contact for the actual records etc. I did and Judge De Haas instructed me to contact :
Adoption Agency: Shrewsbury Diocesan, Children's Rescue Society, 7 Park Road East, Birkenhead
I have been unable to find any information regarding this agency other than a reference in an old pamphlet from 1967 http://lxoa.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/unmarriedmothers.pdf
I do not have my mothers date of birth so even basic searchers on various genealogical sites do not yield much. I appreciate any info anyone may have
