Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Holybourne Nursing Home
« on: Wednesday 21 February 07 02:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I don't know if this is of any help but there must be a register of this nursing home - possibly as a maternity home with the local council - so maybe you can get some info from the library records or deeds?

Dublin / Re: 33 percy street, dublin - 1939 usage
« on: Wednesday 21 February 07 00:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Trish - could I ask a big favour if you are at the library and have any time - I have found out that there was a Registration of Maternity Homes Act 1934 in Ireland that required all homes where children were born or were taken shortly after birth had to be registered - if you have any time and can access these records for Dublin could you see if 33 Percy Place or this John Graham was registered under this act?   It could be another piece of the puzzle... I am trying to find out how to search for this online but so far no luck.  If you have any clues to how I can search this myself online please tell me and I will search.  Any help very very much appreciated.  Thanks again.
Marnie

Hi Trish
Thanks very much for looking that up - it adds to the mystery as we thought it was a "nursing home".   I know that my mum met another lady who had been adopted and who also had that address as her place of birth..... . I will try Holles Street Hospital to try to get some information in case she was actually born at the hospital. Again, thanks very much for your help. Marnie

Dublin / Re: Help Im trying to find 1939 adoption records
« on: Thursday 15 February 07 20:59 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Marie M - I am going to contact the adoption board and see if they can provide some info. 

I have some more questions if anyone has any info / ideas:

If adoption wasn't made legal in Ireland before 1953 (as I understand it) would there be anywhere to find any records of these "unofficial" adoptions? 

I am going to apply to the Holles Street Maternity hospital for birth information (in case that was the actual place of birth rather than the address given on the birth certificate) - but would anyone know if they would include details of the parents (e.g. dob or any other info) - Should I just request birth details or is there something else I could ask for that would give me more information?  Any advice would be of help.
Thanks again everyone.

thanks for that dublin 1850 - yes, it was actually percy place not street.  And thank yiou Marie M - It would be fantastic if you could look in the directory when you are in the library - it would be a piece of the puzzle.  Thanks for your help  :) it really is appreciated.

Dublin / 33 Percy St., Dublin - 1939 / Adoption
« on: Wednesday 14 February 07 00:39 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what this address was used for in 1939 - possibly an orphanage but maybe just a residence but I need to know as am trying to verify information.  Can someone point me in the right direction to find out - sorry if this is silly question but I am new at this.
Thanks for your patience.

Dublin / Help Im trying to find 1939 adoption records
« on: Wednesday 14 February 07 00:35 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know how I would go about finding adoption records and information on biological parents for a person born in dublin (according to the birth certificate) for 1939?  I have the birth certificate but it gives the names of the father and mother but not the dob's so I can't trace them.  As the surnames were ryan it is so common that I cant find anything and also the address of the father given in the UK doesn't seem to exist.  Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find more information on biological parents (my maternal grandparents).  Thanks for your help.
