Dublin / Re: 33 percy street, dublin - 1939 usage

Morning Christopher,
Thanks for your prompt reply. It looks like we will have to do a lot more digging. I agree the Percy St address appears to be that of a solicitor involved in child adoption. My dad was sent to a family in Sligo and was never formally adopted by them so we only discovered his Birth name when he went looking for a Birth Cert. I get the impression that Percy St was used by parents who didn't want to be traced easily. Appreciate your help
Anne

Hi,
Very interested in this chat. My dad was born in 1941 with the same address on birth cert (33 Percy street)
He was sent 'down the country' - to live with an older couple (never formally adpopted). His birth cert has his
mother's name (Kathleen Dunne) at the Percy street address.
The 1911 census shows John A Graham at this address (his occupation was solicitors managing clerk??)
the hand writing is hard to be certain.
What was your conclusion to your search,?
Was this an unofficial adoption service?
Very interested to hear anything.
Thanks
A
