No one told me genealogy was so addictive
'Mothers Home'
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 16:34 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I have a great aunt who was 'sent away' to a Mothers home in Clapham to have her baby as she was not marrried.  I was able to get a copy of the birth certificate of the baby with ease, however, the mum died shortly after. Her name was Smith and I am having difficulty in verifying this as it was never spoken of within the family.  Does anyone know whether there is likely to be any records anywhere about the Mothers home to see if any light can be shed on this?

Thanks

Nicky
