Glen I can't figure out how to reply to you directly.
The St. Pat's suggestion could make sense as they facilitated uncles adoption in 1953 from Temple Hill.
Holles street is so close so that would be an option to pursue.
I did contact the birth registers office on a recommendation and requested a list of all female births on that date in Dublin, no response to date.
My Ancestry test will be back soon and hopefully tell us a bit more. My son did one and we have quite a good match to what could be his grandaunt so my mother's sister.
Id like to talk with mam first before contacting TULSA. Whether she will want to pursue or not I don't know. Delicate situation.
Did you get any information or have you done DNA and got anywhere ?
Best wishes

If I remember correctly, you have to post a certain number of times, before you're able to send messages on here.
I believe that the surviving St Pat's records are with Tusla.
The Ancestry DNA will most likely help you know one way or the other.
Did your grandparents have any siblings? If any of their descendants (for example, cousins of your mam) did a DNA kit too, then that would help.
I've been able to help about 35 adoptees/foundlings over recent years, so if you need a hand understanding the DNA results, feel free to ask.
All the best,
Glen
