Lancashire / Re: single mothers home run by nuns

All the info regarding St Teresa is so interesting -As I said earlier I have been searching for years on and off through Ann Marie Biderdyke at Catholic Rescue Society and she has been unable to provide any details. A strange thing is that in one of the articles(by Roden)a Sister Philomena is mentioned and it is a Sister of the same name who helps in the traces with Ann Marie. Coincidence or could it be the same one?

Any ideas about possible old photos would be useful. Also my husband was Christened at St Benedict Kenal-anyone know anything?-We cant find it.

Can we find out how old the children were when they left St Teresas? All this is back in 1941.

I appreciate the web site provided by Mary 8 and am about to check it out

Thanks to all for help and advice

Just read the info re St Teresas Broome Lane Salford-My husband was born there in 1941and we often wondered why he was still with his mum when he was christened at 6 weeks-thinking that babies were taken at birth. At least he was with his mum until she decided to have him adopted to a very happy home when he was approx. 2yrs. However we are puzzled about what happened between 6 wks and 2yrs. He was in a childrens home in Kirkham Lancashire when he was 'chosen' by his adoptive parents. Does anyone have any ideas what this home was and what it might be now or how we could find out.

As a new comer to Roots Chat I hope my format for the query is sufficient and not too brusque

Thank you
