Hi There,
Does anyone have any information about Woodville Mother & Baby Unit, Raddlebarn Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham. My Mother was sent here after giving birth to me. I was later adopted through Father Hudsons Homes. I am aware of the family history in the lead up to my placement at Father Hudsons but have no information regarding the purpose of Woodville.
Thanks
FG
 
Hi FG
According to the Father Hudson website Woodville was a mother and baby home at 176 Raddlebarn Road and they say that they hold the records for that establishment so they would be able to tell you everything that you wish to know about the history of the home etc.

Hello, I' looking for people born in mother and baby homes for a story I'm doing for ITV Central News. Did you manage to find out information about Woodville, and your mothers time there?
 
Hi everyone,


I am looking for some information on my mothers time at the Woodville mother and baby home. I was born there in July 1945. My mother is from the north East of England, was working in Birmingham and kept me after I was born and took me back north. A wonderful strong woman. As I reflect on my life I am remembering stories my mother and other members of the family told me. I might have been a twin and I might have a different father than who I was told (there is no father on the birth cert.) Even if I just find out about my mothers experience there.
