Mother and Baby home run by nuns in North Wales
« on: Saturday 23 August 14 18:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I've just heard that my ancestor briefly stayed in some sort of mother and baby home, in North Wales, run by nuns. She was unmarried so her baby was given up for adoption and the family never heard what happened the child. It would have been in the 1930's and possibly in the Prestatyn area. My ancestor was Irish, and returned home soon after but didn't have a good life unfortunately.

Would anyone know of such a place? Obviously Ireland has a bad rep with the Magdalene Laundries, so I'm hoping she wasn't in a similar type place.
