According to my original birth cert. (before an adoption cert, was issued obviously), I was born there, with my genetic mother being 17-yr's old and un-married. I'm not looking for any kind of re-union, but would like to find paperwork, names of grandparents etc. Apparently it is still a nursing home but not owned by the same people and I think, a completely different type of 'nursing home'. I have an Irish birth-name (O'Dare) so I guess it may have been a Catholic Church run home, but it may be a bad guess.
I'm not saying I wouldn't make some sort of contact with the poor woman, (via e-mail??) who can't have had an easy time of it in 1960/61 (I'm a January-born male) but I just don't have any pull or desire to meet new people and find the whole idea completely off-putting and even ludicrous. Whether this is because I'm autistic, or there was no 'maternal-bond' I don't know, but the humanitarian in me would of course want to help bring 'closure' to a painful incident for the mother, as long as they wanted contact of course and had been searching. However, maybe they're not that bothered either!
Thanks/Diolch
I’m not sure who was running Seaview Nursing Home in Torbay, Devon during the 1950s-60s, but local archives or historical records might have that information. Checking old newspapers, census records, or contacting historical societies in Devon could help. If there are any living relatives of former staff or residents, they might have valuable insights.
