I also had an adopted brother, although he too was born in Manchester, I don't think his mother stayed at St Teresas. He was born jan 1965 And called John at birth (I think) and his mother called margaret (not sure). She was from the Manchester area I believe. He's never traced her, although we did start once, some time ago, which is why I can't be too sure of names! I often wonder if she's out there somewhere, wondering about him! I know it brought my adoptive parents great joy, having a son and daughter when they couldn't conceive themselves, but as a mother now myself, I do wonder about the pain often inflicted by so called do gooders in the name of religion.

I am trying to find out more info on him and his siter.. as well how would a girl find out about this place who was living in Ireland.  My mother went here to have my sister.  She was from Dublin.  Thank you.  Catherine

I did try that and was given St Roberts, I believe it was.   I sent an e-mail inquiry as I live in the states and I have not heard back.  I will have to call when time is good.  The time difference can wreck havoic on the schedule.

What is "ST.Robert's" ?

Could this be the ST.Robert's you mentioned? Click here for St. Robert's Parish, Longsight, Manchester.


It is over the other side of the city but seems to fit with the new Irish in the city at the time?

That would be it, that is where she was baptized.  Any thoughts?

I think any approach would have to be by your mother and I think it is better to write to them rather than e-mail - then it's official.

I know someone who was born at St. Teresa's and she was baptised at St. Thomas of Canterbury church in Broughton, Salford: 327 Great Cheetham Street East,
SALFORD,
M7 4UE

In the case of the church and finding out about the baptism, I find it helps if you write to them and give a small donation. 

Good luck.  If I can be of any further help, let me know.

Ann
