My husband was born at Doris Court in 1954. We have just found out that he had a brother born there in June 1960 named Paul Yates who was also adopted. If anyone knows him please reply. Thanks.

I have been going through old photographs of an event which Mary Walsh attended. My husband is not very sure but thinks this may be a photo of her. Can any mothers please check and either confirm or reject. Thanks.

Hi I am new to this sight and was wondering if anyone has heard of a Julie Anne Whitaker born 1960 in January.

I have found some old photo albums which belonged to my Mother-in-Law. She adopted my husband in 1954. The photos were said to be of 'Mary' and 'Owen' in Dublin in 1951. I got my husband to look at the photos, without telling him the name and he immediately identified Mary Walsh. (He met her lots of times in his childhood). The child I presume is Owen. We don't know who he is. The other two adults are my husband's adoptive parents. More photos to follow
