Not getting it. OK The boys were brought up by Mary and Gerard they were not the real G/parents.
When they were older they were told.OK.

The boys were taken to Nazareth House Manchester run by Nuns.  Childrens Home.It is now a care home for the elderly.

Thank you all so much you have all been Brill.
I am slowly dragging out bits of information from this lady.

Peter was left in Liverpool Station as a baby. He was then taken into care in Manchester.
Mary and Gerard were told they could not have children they adopted a boy called him Kevin Reynolds. Later
they went back and adopted Peter.they were brought up as brothers.Both of the children were taken in care and taken to the same home.
I am trying to find the name of the home. I pray she still knows.
Thank you so much again. If I get any joy I will let you all know.Cheers Lep ;)

Can anyone give a little help please.
This baby was born in Manchester. 11-1=1960. At one month old his Gran and Gdad gave him his name Peter Antony Reynolds.
He has never found his Birth Mother. Assume at that time she was in some mother and baby home and had to give up the child to be adopted.
The Grandparents are deceased There names were Mary and Gerard Reynolds.
Does anyone know of any Mother and Baby homes in 1960 in Manchester.
Any Census Records.Lep

Just thought you may be interested in this History.
In 1656 TheseDominic O'Dowda was granted 1500 acres in Kilgarvan Parish. These lands passed to David O'Dowda and then to Thady. [Thaddeus] Members of the family fought in rimattle of Aughrim
and were noted Catholic Gaelic Gentry. who had there own court poet.One Eoghan Ui Ghabhainn often graced O'Dowdastown with verse.

The best known of this landed gentry was James Baron O'Dowda who improved the Bonniconlon estate; and led the tenants in the up-rising of 1798. He was hanged in Ballinamuck. His son, Thady
was the last of the Bonniconlon landlords. He provided the site for the first Bonniconlon National School in 1843. His generosity and leniency during the great Famine led to his bankruptcy. The house was sold under the Encumbered Estates Act of 1849.It was sold to Charles Downing in 1854.
