I have my mothers birth certificate she was one of twins born in 1941 at 63 Clarendon Road I would like to find out a lot more , both my mother and her twin were adopted in the south of uk

On the same theme, does anyone by any chance know of a "nursing home" at 22 Vernon Road (near Fenton Street) in 1936. I was evidently born there but pictures seem to show Vernon Road as just moderate sized terrace houses ?? Its just one of those oddities that one has to ponder about for a lifetime !!

Doing some Googling, William Cornish Warner died at 22 Vernon Rd in 1904 (http://vitaldb.moorlandit.com/display_r ... 575&sid=56) although he lived in Bramley and that might just be coincidence. Another post at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/t ... 0918990682 gives someone being born there in 1921. Leodis only has the "odds" for Vernon Rd but Old Maps shows the "evens" on the other side of the road had the same design. The last house next to the school at the bottom of the road would probably have been #30, but they were all demolished in 1964 to be built on by the university. I'd guess there was probably a midwife, nurse or doctor based there. One way to find out might be to check the Kelly's directories at Leeds library to see who lived or worked there at the time.

Many thanks mhoulden - I feel much more reassured now that a maternity unit, perhaps an annexe of the LGI, was most probably in Vernon Road. When time permits I'll look further into the question, so thank you again - 77 years is a long time to be "puzzled and in the dark."

I recently visited West Yorkshire Archives at Morley. They hold no records for Saint Faith's at any of the Leeds addresses.

Good day, I am new to the site and have been most interested in some of the information on 63 Clarendon Road.
My Father was born here in 1923. He was born out of wedlock. My Grandmother's family were a quite wealthy family and were also Quakers. They lived in the Scarborough/Whitby/Wakefield area. Family name Judge.
It would appear that my Grandmother was dis-owned by her family at the time and was sent away and ended up in North Wales and then Bath in Somerset which is where we Judges have resided for a long time now.
If anybody can clarify for certain that detailed records of admission dates and leaving dates are available for viewing, in an archive, I would be most grateful. It is a long way to travel to find they are not available.
Any further information would be gratefully received as my family would dearly like to find out more about our fathers early years.

I have just searched and found the Archive from the Yorkshire Archaeology Society is being moved to Leeds University and will be available next year, maybe online! Another year waiting isn't too long!
