Kathryn,

I was born at the Hammer Lane home, in December of 1961. My birth mom's name was Philomena. She was older compared to the others, about 30 years old at the time of my birth. Did you happen to know her?  Thank you.

Hi Whirlwindtu
There was a previous mention of a nun called Philomena - could this be your mum? She was apparently very kind to the young girls, unlike most of the other nuns …… I wish you luck in your search

Mike, I would really love to talk to you. My mother was at Assisi. She gave birth to a girl in February 1961, who she named Angela. This is not a family name, so I wondered if perhaps they had met and formed a bond?

The address is Hammer Lane, Churt, Hampshire. Found it with my sister, who was born there in 1961, about 3 years ago. Be careful though because there are 2 Hammer Lanes!! The correct one is a windy, dark, eerie place with few buildings. Assisi is on the right hand side as go down the hill. It's very easy to miss, but there is a small name sign on the ground. We met the people who live there and they are used to people knocking on their door. It was a very emotional experience and cannot imagine how the poor girls got to this place in those days .......

Hi I'm looking to hear from anyone who was at Assisi in Churt or born there in and around February 1961. My mother was there and gave birth to Angela Joan on 27th Feb. She was adopted by an American couple and subsequently went to live in the USA. Angie found us in 2015 but sadly our mother had already passed away, taking her very sad secret to the grave with her. We are in particular keen to speak with Mike Fletcher, who's' mother Angela, we think, was there at the same time. We have a feeling that both mums became friends and that my sister was named after her? It's just a hunch and would like to know if anyone else could shed some light please .....
