i know its a long shot now but would any one have info from 1945? my mother was born in lincoln, lincolnshire in Jan 1945 and subsequently adopted to a lincolnshire family. i have her birth name and that of her birth mother as well as the details of where her birth mother s from.    would this have been the only maternity home there at this time or would there have been others? where would i start to look for info ? any help would be great, many thanks xxxx

Hello the Quarry opened in 1944 for unwed mothers and the only other place was The Bromhead a private hospital if you had the money to pay.                           I don't know what information you are looking for but you could google lincs to the past. I'm afraid I'm unable to post the link but perhaps someone else will.            Sue

i wouldnt have thought she would have had any money to pay for somewhere private, so this is looking like the place. I guess the info i would be looking for was what was it like to be there at that time but guess its unlikely there is anyone to tell me, my mum was born in jan 1945 and i know her mothers name was winifred perrott and she was from the ringwood area, we were told she was stationed i Lincolnshire during the war hence the reason my mum was born in Lincolnshire.
