I am searching for anyone who was at the home in March 1962. I was born there to a lady called Brenda and I believe a twin sister too. Nurse Barrett delivered us. Can anyone shed any light on how to confirm this?

My Mum had my eldest sister at the Quarry in June 1951. She was only 16, thankfully unlike most of these poor girls her family were understanding enough and let her keep her baby girl.

Even though she never really reflected much on the day to day workings of the place, she did often recall the fun she had with the friends she made while she was there.

One girl in particular was named Anne, my sister was subsequently named after her and I'm proud to say every female in the generation since has Anne in their name somewhere!

Unfortunately neither my Mum nor my lovely big sister are with us any longer but the bond they had from their challenging start was like no other I've witnessed between a parent and a child.

Hi all

I was born at the Quarry Maternity Home in January 1967 and adopted by a couple in the same year.
My adopted parents have both now passed away and i am interested to find out something about my birth mother.

Was anyone at the home around that time and have any memories of the place and the people there?

I have my original birth certificate with my birth name and the name of my mother and her address at the time, she was from the Chesterfield area but i will keep the rest private for now.

I have been able to trace very little else with this information.
