Thanks all will have a look at Tulsa and speak with Mum. Im awaiting DNA from ancestry to  see what that brings up.
Have the baptismal cert from St. Mary's Haddington road, 2 days after birth, but obviously that could have been altered on request, so would need to see org baptismal cert. Doesn't make sense that mum wasn't brought back to home parish for baptism.



Just re-reading this. St Mary's Haddington Road and St Andrew's Westland Row were both known to have baptised children from Percy Place.

Nurse Katty Dalton (from Percy Place) thanks Bishop Dunne in 1949, after her other half Edward Dalton's funeral was held at St Mary's Haddington Road.

Glen I can't figure out how to reply to you directly.
The St. Pat's suggestion could make sense as they facilitated uncles adoption in 1953 from Temple Hill.
Holles street is so close so that would be an option to pursue.
I did contact the birth registers office on a recommendation and requested a list of all female births on that date in Dublin, no response to date. 

My Ancestry test will be back soon and hopefully tell us a bit more. My son did one and we have quite a good match to what could be his grandaunt so my mother's sister.

Id like to talk with mam first before contacting TULSA. Whether she will want to pursue or not I don't know. Delicate situation.


Did you get any information or have you done DNA and got anywhere ?

Best wishes
Berty



If I remember correctly, you have to post a certain number of times, before you're able to send messages on here.

I believe that the surviving St Pat's records are with Tusla.

The Ancestry DNA will most likely help you know one way or the other.

Did your grandparents have any siblings? If any of their descendants (for example, cousins of your mam) did a DNA kit too, then that would help.

I've been able to help about 35 adoptees/foundlings over recent years, so if you need a hand understanding the DNA results, feel free to ask.

All the best,
Glen

Think you should contact Tusla
https://www.tusla.ie/services/birth-information-and-tracing-and-adoption/information-and-tracing/seeking-your-personal-and-birth-information/faqs/

They should be at least be able to tell you if it’s likely your mother is a victim of an illegal birth registration and if any information on Percy Place survives.

I've tried Tusla multiple times. Unfortunately, nothing from Percy Place was handed over to them. It's worth a go though, because they do have records of St. Patrick's and some babies born at Percy Place had their adoptions arranged through St Patrick's.

It's also worth trying Holles Street Hospital because they hold maternity registers and sometimes Percy Place would send mothers in labour there.

Please feel free to message me privately for more details on my research of Percy Place.

Best wishes, Glen

Appreciate this is an older post but could really do with some help, feel sick to my stomach having found my mum's birth cert. She was born at 39 Percy place in 1950 and my grandparents are listed as her parents as is a K. Dalton at that address like others have mentioned. Knowing they were involved with St pat's for another adoption 3 years later with my uncle my suspicions are my mum might be too. I can't find any baptismal records and she is none the wiser she's elderly and I'm confused with all this. What would you advise. Any help greatly received x

Good morning Betty, I've been researching St. Brendan's, 33 & 39 Percy Place, the Dalton family and de Valera. I will send you a message. Kind regards, Glen

Nottinghamshire / Nottinghamshire Electoral Rolls 1940s-1950s
« on: Thursday 09 February 23 19:35 GMT (UK)  »
Good evening All,

Does anyone know the easiest way to access Nottingham electoral rolls for the 1940s and 1950s, please?

I believe that the British Library will have copies in London, but I wondered whether anyone on here has access to them locally?

Thanks very much,
Glen  :)

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage - Maidstone - 1915 (Stevens & Smith)

Hello All,

I thought you'd like to know that I heard back from one of the living descendants of the Langley family. They were able to tell me who some of the faces were, in one of my great grandmother's photos! One of the Langley aunts of Caroline was this man's grandmother!! I think we can safely say that my great grandmother, for whatever reason, left her whole life behind and started a new life, with a new name(!), during WW1. (Caroline became Dorothy!)

Thanks again for all your help,
Glen  :)
