Hi Claire, thank you so much.  It was that Home.  I have just googled Hammer Lane and recognise it just as I had described it as being a long narrow lane.  Have tried to search if there are any pictures of the Home but can't find anything as yet.  There appears to be some houses there now or possibly apartments.

Once again thank you for your time and help.

Kind regards

Kathryn

good luck

I have just written to the GRO to try and get on the register so i am still in the early stages but about 40 years ago i did get some info about my mother and my original Birth certificate but i will have to re apply for them as i no longer have them Did check out the BDM marriage search site with mixed success just now  I guess finding your site with info about Assissi rekindled my interest..There is a lot more information available nowadays compared with when i last tried to look years ago  Thanks for your reply will try and use e-mail when i get enough posts..

Hello! ( 1st post )
 For many years i have worked as a motorcycle courier delivering small items mostly around London area but also over the whole country.About 18 months ago i had a delivery to "Assissi" in Hammer Lane Hindhead surrey, it was for me a strange experience driving from London to deliver the letter as it is the place i was born back in 1954. I had a short conversation with the present owner of the property and i explained my story briefly to him,He confirmed that his house was once a maternity home run by nuns and that there is a statue of the virgin mary in his rear garden from that era..So that was quite a coincidence.. I found out about 40 years ago my mothers name and my original name around the time they changed the law concerning the exchange of information with adopted children and parent/s - I believe it was kept secret from children and parents under the Adoption of Infants act 1926 to protect people adopting children from them being Rescued by their original parents..
Anyway I would like to try and find my Mother or any information about her. She was 15 years old when i was born in 1954 so she would be about 76 now and would have been born in 1939 roughly..
Her name was Margaret and my name John and i was born on December 21st 1954. So if you happen to read this I'm still alive and i hope you are too. I am very approachable and hope you are able one day to read this.. Good luck to all the other folk in their journeys for information.
