Vanessa, the most recent poster, has posted a general request, just because of the title of the thread.

Vanessa -
welcome to the GR boards.
Unfortunately, it's not very likely that anyone who was at St Monica's will see your post - but you never know!
Just leave your request where it is long-term, and have patience.

There's very little about St Monica's patients/residents online.
It also seems to have changed address more than once, which doesn't help.

My birth mother was here in 1967. I would like to hear from other people who were sent there, it doesn’t need to be this year. Thanks

Shannette

This may be very,very delayed and you have probably found all the info you want.And you may not subscribe to this site anymore
I was at St Monica's Mother and Baby home in 1966,for 6 months,yes ,one of the naughty girls.I ,however,did not give up my baby.
The address at that time was ,36,Croxteth Road,near Sefton Park,my daughter was born in Sefton General
If you do read this would love to hear from you

im trying to find a catholic adoption or fostering place in norris green liverpool in 1930 can u help me any one ?????????????????????????????????????

No, Shannette, you are not mad. It's only natural to want to trace your roots, no matter how old you are. I am also looking for my roots and I am even older than you! Keep on looking and I'm sure you'll find success. Best of luck, Lilian

Lilian--thanks for the advice. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that myself. I actually had a contact in social services who helped me to get all my records,even letters from my mum. You must think I'm mad at 52 to want this but it feels like another piece of my endless jigsaw.

Linnet Lane is in Aigburth (may have also been known as Toxteth), Liverpool 17. Sefton General Hospital was in Smithdown Road, Liverpool 15. It is now the site of an Asda supermarket. Shannette, have you tried contacting Liverpool Social Services to see if they can give you any information on the mother and baby home? Ring Liverpool Direct on 0151 233 3000 and ask them to put you through to the main Social Services Dept. Let me know how you get on. Lilian

Hi Colette--I think the district would be Sefton as I was born In Sefton General in 1951.Does this help?

Hi Shannette I looked in the Gores Directory for Liverpool 1938 i could not see a St Monicas in Linnet Lane Toxteth nr Lark Lane but a St Christophers Prepatary School for Boys D.C.W Peacock B.A Pricipal. Is this the right area Toxteth i mean and what year were you taking about. Colette.

Liverpool records office were only able to supply me with a photo of the staircase at the home.Apparantly it moved a few times but was at this address when I was there in 1951.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Hi Shannette, You may be able to get some information from Liverpool Records Office. They also have a large collection of photographs in the City Engineers Archives. I've always found the staff to be very helpful. Their telephone number is 0151 233 5811. Good luck, Lilian
