Gregory just as a thought, as there is a website, there is just an outside chance that Paula contacted them, it's a long shot but if they keep contact details they may be willing to forward a letter?

How fascinating, Greg! It would seem that Paula is your sister. Unfortunately her post is 10 years old. You could try clicking on her name and sending her a personal message. I wish you luck.

Greg as it was 2005 when Paula posted and she only posted the once it's not likely that she will see your reply. Click on her name and send a message, if GR still has a current email for her she will be notified.

I too was born at Sacred Heart Maternity Home Brettargh Holt Levens. My mother was called Mary Bridget McGovern and on my birth certificate she is shown as a Nursing Auxiliary. Also on the birth certificate it states that she lived at 9 Museum Street Warrington. I was surprised to see your post when looking up Brettargh Holt. My birth name was Martin Gerard McGovern, but my adoptive parents called me Gregory Gerard Lisle.
I have more information, but alas was not able to trace my birth mother.

Hope to hear from you.

Paula Marie Drinkwater I am looking for any information on a Mary Bridget McGovern, it is possible that she was born in Ireland and then moved to the United Kingdom in the 1960's. I have her listed as a domestic, living at 9 Museum Street, Warrington, United Kingdom, in 1965. She gave birth to me at the Sacred Heart Maternity Home, Brettargh Holt, Levens. I would love to know any information that people may have about her or her whereabouts. Thanks.
