The Common Room / Re: The Church at the South Dublin Union Workhouse

thank you, that was my first thought as they are so close but  I spoke to James Street church  registrar she said they don't hold the records there but thought the church was then known as St Kevin's though she couldn't be sure about the name then only that when it closed finally in 2015 that it was then called St James Church

The Common Room / The Church at the South Dublin Union Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 14:37 BST (UK)  »
HI All, I am researching my Grandfather who was born in the said Union Workhouse, I have recently learned there was a church on the grounds where children left there would have been baptised and I see it closed in 2015  at that time named as St James Church and was run by an order of Catholic nuns but I cant seem to find out what its name would have been in the 1890's, someone suggested to be it could have been St Kevin's then but there was already a St Kevin's Church in Dublins south city at that time and it wasn't on the workhouse site. Has anyone ever come across information on it in their searches please? I am trying to track down the records for the church back then I have contacted the nearest church and looked on all the sites carrying Catholic records to no avail but knowing for sure what the church was called might help, thanks

This explains it quite well.

Basically, adoption was not done in a legal manner in Ireland before 1952.

As the blog says

A brief history
Ireland has a long history of “informal” adoptions prior to the passing of the 1952 Adoption Bill. These continued even after the passing of the legislation and were therefore technically illegal adoptions (e.g. birth certificates being forged to list the adoptive parents as the natural parents).  In these latter cases, and in cases prior to 1952, there is no “Non-identifying Information” available for adoptees and DNA may be their only recourse to help identify their birth families.

The Common Room / early 20th century adoptions
« on: Saturday 30 July 22 12:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi All I wonder if anyone knows if there are records for adoptions in Ireland for the late 19th and early 20th century or is that just a silly question given the times they were? thanks
