It was in Irvine I believe originally it was 1 Bartonholm road which is the address on the birth certificate

 1 Bartonholm road , Irvine , Ayrshire was the address of the Cunninghame Combination Workhouse.

Was the mother not named on the birth certificate ?

Going back to the original post, any surviving hospital records which have been deposited for safekeeping will most likely be closed for 100 years because of data protection policies.

Has your mother accessed her adoption file?
