You might like to have s look at 'Banished Babies' by Mike Milotte and 'the light in the Window' by June Goulding, to name but a few of some of text available.

Hey there,

I see was posted quite a while back but did you get any info on this place? Any help much appreciated. My mother was born there.

Genadeltoro, which place specifically are your referring to, as this thread includes many locations?

78 Lower Drumcondra road in Dublin. Run by Nurse Gallagher.

Hello everyone
I am new to this chat. We have just learned that our mother had a child in 1951 in a private home listed as 77 Drumcondra Road. I cannot find anything at that address and wonder if it was a typo - 78 seems more likely. Does anyone know if there was another home across the road?

Debra Noel, Archbishop Palace was across the road from 78!

Oh my goodness that's right I now recall reading that. So I guess 78 is correct. I wish there was more info on where the records are as this looks like we have found the right home. Thank you for replying
