Colin may be able to help Lyn but I have a feeling most records have been destroyed.

Birth records only need to be kept for a minimum of 25 years, so think it's doubtful that they still survive, see https://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1889.aspx?CategoryID=68&SubCategoryID=160

I am new to this site tonight.. ive just registered after talking to my social worker today. The records for Loveday Street hospital are available to view at Birmingham City Archives Library. But they are very Sketchey depending on what year you are looking for. I was born there in 1957..as far as my adoption papers say.. but i now know that dates can be changed.. and im now an unknown as i was not born on the day .

The Birmingham Lying-in Hospital and Dispensary for the diseases of Women and Children was formed in 1842, and was originally located in St. Mary’s Square, but moved a year later to premises in Broad Street, it only accepted “married women” for child birth cases.
In 1906, land was brought in Loveday Street at a cost of £2,850 to build a purpose built hospital, with £11,900 spent on building costs and a further £1,500 to equip the hospital. Due to an appeal which raised the required money it was able to open debt free, but needed to continue to raise funds as running costs were estimated at £1,500 per annum.
The hospital closed in 1968. Posted by Len.
