I am looking for information on Mother & baby homes in Co.Cork @1946. I have an address of a birth & I think it might have been in a home rather than a hospital. Anyone out there with any help would be most appreciated.  ;D

Two suggestions-

1) click on 'report to moderator' and ask for your topic to be moved to Cork board

2) post the address (but not any other identifying details of the child or mother) so that others might be able to post information or suggest where you might search next
