Hi Geoff 
Thanks for those,
I thought it was in Lincoln as well, because my mum use to mention it .
the person I was looking for was born in the Quarry maternity hospital,
but her mother has her address as 5 , mary street, Scunthorpe , on the birth cert.
Eilleen.

OK ... in the 1946 Kelly's Directory
Wragby Road (between Lindum St and Sewell Road)
Lincoln Diocesan Moral Welfare Association Maternity Home (Miss E Day, matron) (The Quarry)
in which case, it may be the big house in the centre here http://tinyurl.com/l9wmxh failing that, the one a bit to the left (but it may be "The Mount"). I've found it on a map - it's the one I said it was
Perhaps her mother was "away from home" for a while

The Quarry in Wragby Road was used pre 1960 by Welfare and then later Social Services for unmarried mothers to give birth,more often than not these babies were placed for Adoption, but was a usaul maturnity home otherwise for married ladies to give birth.
All birth certificates will give place where the birth took place and usual home address of the mother/parents which can be many miles apart.

I was at Quarry in 1968. Still being used as maternity - both married & unmarried.
Fun place - not like so many horror stories of other 'homes'!
It was Wragby Road Lincoln.
