Hi Lou ,I am trying to get information about st Joseph's orphanage  tivoli rd ,my mother was there in 1956 till 1959 she would have been about 10 yrs of age when she went in,I was just wondering how your mother got on while she was in there as my mother seems to have blocked a lot of things out and has only just started to talk about been in there recently. Kind Regards Jinny

Hi Lou,

I was in St. Joseph's orphanage tivoli road for 3 years, from 1959 to 1962.  I remember names and events that took place at that time.  I should be pleased to let you have the information to help your mum.
