Holly mount records?

[Ravintola]

Thanks for this help.  I hadn't realised that the mother's maiden name was stated on birth certificates in the 1920's.  I now know that she was Sarah Moore and I have found her on the 1901 census as an inmate at HollyMount aged 8.  I have also now located the marriage date of September 1922 in Bury with John Collinson and know that they lived on Bolton Road, Hawkshaw so already making excellent progress!

I have also found her sister who in the 1901 census was at Hollymount aged 5 (Mary Moore).  I do not have further details for her.

Now that I know the names, can anyone please suggest the next step in finding a) length of time Sarah was at Hollymount and parental details and b) details of the graves of my family.

Many thanks for the two responses so far

Hi & welcome peggytoof, i do hope we can help you in some way with your request. Do you have any idea how & why she endded up on this side of the pennines?


If any one is looking to try and trace any sort of records from hollymount, the only link i have found to do with them is as follows. The archives of HollyMount's childrens home went to :

The nuns from Hollymount were a Belgium order and have tried to find any records of there but they seemed to have been destroyed when they left Hollymount. You could try contacing Salford diocese, as i am sure with them been catholics they would have come under there rule so to speak? I have tried a long time back but never got any reply to my emails

I have just purchased the Holly Mount book "A Labour of Love" and note that on the back page it mentions my two great aunts - Florence & Kitty Collinson - 11 year prize for Faithful service from the 1924 report.    Does anyone have any further information on them or memories perhaps.

Hi Folks,long time no see!!!!!!!
As you all know i've been searching for my nanna Ethel O'Neil.She was brought up at Holly Mount,up until last weekend i had very little to go on.But i've had a breakthrough!!!!!!!!
On a rare visit to Summerseat last weekend i find out that my auntie had Ethel's B/C all along!!!!
Ethel O'Neil was actually born on 31/10/1909 in the registration district of Chorlton,at 6 upper Brook St,south Manchester!!!!!!!
She married my granddad Harry Whitworth on 26/05/1934 at St Hilda's,the chapel attached to Holly Mount!!!!!!
So as you can see ,I've got a bit more to go on now,although i would still like to know why she was left there.I bought the book "A labour of love" inside was  another girl named O'Neil,it says in the book she was one of many girls confirmed there,her name was Veronica O'Neil,in another book i saw in Tottington Library called Alpha,Omega,Phoenix,was a list of girls who died & where buried there,on the list was Rosie O'Neil died  02/04/1915,if anyone recognizes these names can they let me know,even if its so i can discount them.
If anyones interested i got a phone number from Bury central library,the lady there is going to search the Holly Mount records for me,she says it should take about 2 weeks,fingers crossed the number is 016143277461
