Hi I'm looking for Patricia Mary born to Kathleen Hunt 22nd May 1962 Assisi mother and baby home, Hammer Lane,  Greyshott, Surrey. I have information about her brother. Any help appreciated,  thanks.

Hello Everyone!

I am Michael McCarthy (my Birth Name) & was born at Assisi, Hammer Lane, in October 1964 to Patricia, she was an Irish girl who I was told came over from Ireland to have me here. If anyone was there who thinks they may know her please let me know. Every time I read this it stirs me so much that I am in floods of tears for a life lost with Mum... who I know desperately wanted to keep me. She was very young so I dearly hope she still lives.

Love to all of you on here.

Hello. I am a volunteer researcher for an adoption agency who carries out searches on behalf of adopted adults trying to trace birth family. I have a particularly difficult search at thee moment on behalf of an adopted adult with some life-limiting health issues. Your posts from a few years ago show you had an interest in the mother and baby home in Churt. The place my adopted adult was born was called The Grange, which was in Hindhead and Churt, according to the birth certificate. This seems to be extremely close to the home you talked about in your posts. My question to you is whether the home you refer to could have gone under the name of The Grange, and whether they may be one and the same? I would appreciate any information you can offer. Many thanks. Gail B.

Any ideas anyone why this would be? I went over to cork after 10 years of talking to the priest who said he saw my record in front of him.. but found no record???
