Was that her maiden or married name?

How old would she have been in the late 1950's when you knew her - to make it easier to look for marriages, deaths etc.

Julie,

Was there really a fire?

A lot of adoptees seem to be told their files were lost in a fire when they first enquire. Upon pressing the issue a little more files seem to miraculously appear.

I see that there was a post on Rootsweb, did you look into this just on the offchance?

"From searching I see a reference in the National Archives to a St Joseph's mother and baby home at 107 Tulse Hill. I can't see any other references though."
