Surrey / Re: Assisi Mother & Baby Homes

One thing has happened to me recently that I want to share, in case it has wider implications. I was born at Assisi (Hammer Lane) in 1967. I only found out I was adopted a few years ago (by which time my adopted father had died and my mum had dementia). I'm not really complaining about anything as I had a great upbringing and we were all very close.
Very recently, however, it has unfolded that my birth records are incorrect and that the birth family with whom I met a few years ago and have bonded with, are not my actual birth family> DNA tests have revealed that I am related to a different family.
The conclusion is that I have the wrong birth record. Weirdly, it also means my birth date is wrong (which I find oddly unsettling). I have recently met my real birth family and they are great, thankfully.
Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar situation?

Hi all,

Only just found this resource - having only found out that I was adopted (about 3 years ago, when the family of my then-recently deceased mother came searching), deeper investigation showed that I was born at Assisi in Hammer Lane in March 1967.

I have since had contact with that side of my family but would be interested in the conditions that were there at the time.

My current challenge is to try and find my father's side of the family. We have a name, a rough birthdate and the fact that he was Irish (and returned to Ireland before I was born) but not much else. If anyone has any tips on where to go from here - much appreciated.

Cheers
