Mother and baby home run by nuns in Southampton during the 70s

[manikins]

Hi,
I know that I was born (1972) in a Catholic mother and baby home in Southampton. I don't know the name of the institution but I was wondering if someone does as I would like to find out more about the place and its history.
thanks
M

Thanks Carol. It could very well be the place. Your help is very much appreciated. I was trying to find some photos of the building after it was rebuilt but can't seem to find anything. Anyway, it's a great starting point. thank you ever so much, it means a lot to me.

My pleasure M....Someone may come up with a photo so don't give up. You could try the library.
Good Luck

Hi manikins

Welcome to rootschat

Does your birth certificate give an address for this home

Hi Rosie,
yes, I had to dig it out and hadn't thought to look at it. it says 33 Hill lane, so it sounds as if it was the Sister of Nazareth home. thanks.
