Thank you so much for this. That reference to the Rotunda in Dublin would certainly indicate that he was involved in maternity services for women. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks for your reply. The informant on the birth cert gives the mother's name. Without getting in to too much detail, we are almost certain that the grandparents were named as the parents on the cert when in actual fact the mother may have been another family member. The child was given up for adoption shortly after, despite the "parents" having several other children at home.  I did find a report called "Report on the physical welfare of mothers and children" dated 1917, which refers to Babies' Clubs which seem to have been opened throughout Ireland (Coleraine is mentioned) in an attempt to educate mothers in nutrition/child welfare and even sewing and mending classes. So I don't think it was a home for unmarried mothers.

Derry (Londonderry) / New Row West Coleraine

Does anyone know if there was a home/hostel/hospital located in New Row West, Coleraine?
I have found something on the 1924 Street Directory called the "Babies Club and Dispensary" listed as New Row in Coleraine. Would this have been a place for unmarried mothers or simply a clinic type place? I have a birth cert for someone in 1929, which gives New Row West, Coleraine as place of birth but the family were not living in Coleraine at that time, so it made me wonder if there was a reason why one of the family would all the way to Coleraine to have a baby?

I'm looking for the burial place of my great grandparents Neil and Martha Kane (nee McNamee) I have a lot of information from the census etc on them but would just like to know where they are buried. Martha died on 7th January, 1946 in Magherareagh. Her death was witnessed my her daughter who is just named as "Mrs McPhilimey" My grandmother, also named Martha, was the eldest daughter of Neil and Martha. Other children of the marriage were Francis (Frank) Mary Ellen,Rose Anne and Sarah.

Hi,
Have you checked out Ros Davies County Down website yet?
There are Arlows listed for Dromore and other areas.
Just put "Ros Davies" into a Google search and it will take you to her site.
Regards,
Briege
