Hello, the name of the maternity hospital was ”Crossley,s”
If you go back a good way on this site you will find lots of information about it all.
As you will find the name was that of the man who started The Star Hall,later taken over by aThe Salvation Army after Frank Crossley’s death.
The site goes back to 2009,but there is a lot of info for you there. Best of luck. Viktoria.
PS,do ask again if you need more help.V

I telephoned the Salvation Army many years ago as I was born in this hospital and was searching for my birth mother but I was advised that all the records for the period around 1966 had been lost in a fire

I was born in this hospital too - in September 1963.

Hi Kelly, I beat you by one year - 1947.  Where were your family stationed?  I think mine were at Idle but not really sure.  I was a bit young at the time!!   Welcome to Rootschat.     R.

My parents were stationed at Pendlebury when I was born.

Hello again everyone.
This is a long shot.
 But I'm trying to find something about myself. Maybe someone can help.
I know i was born in salvation army hospital ancoats
My mum was a teenager age 19 years old. And unmarried at the time.

What I'm trying to find out is where do I need to go to find out my weight at birth.
I know i was born at 10.30 in the morning I can't remember if my mum told me what I weight was.

Please can anyone help who do I ask.
As probably the area I was living after I was born as probably gone now
I don't know the doctors who was living in the area.

Please can anyone suggest anything?


Also if at all possible is there any photos of the maternity wing in the hospital.

Thank you so much for your help and your time.

Kind regards
Dorothy

The nearest Drs. were on the corner of Bradford Street .O’Connor,Crymble, Nolan snd Swietlik ,a lovely Polish Dr.

They would probably be on call.
Ancoats Hospital was very close by too.
