Anglican convent in St Albans c 1949-51
« on: Saturday 30 July 16 21:01 BST (UK) »
Hello, If anyone went to An Anglican convent-most likely All Saints could you let me know? According to info. at National Archives there is a closure on this so I have been unable to find any information.
I have tried all Diocese records both Protestant & Catholic without success. Thank you to anyone can help.

Thank you-it does help sometimes! I was sent to a convent between 49-52 by my mother, it is believed that she was pregnant to a man other than my father. She had already had my sister to this ( Slipper)& she was bringing the family name into disrepute!

Hello & thank you for replying. I have the details of all the information that you have noted.I spoke to the sisters 10 years ago & more recently 2 years ago. None knew the whereabouts of records/registers  when they moved to Oxford in 1972/3.
I have spoken & written to the people of Westminster Diocese who were unable to help.
However, I spoke to a younger nun who said to wait a while & she would see what she could find. She gifted me a book on the history of the Sisters but not a lot was relevant sadly.
I now will return to  search mothers & baby/children's homes & such like. Thank you
