These records are part of Records of Kate Cocks Memorial Babies Home (1930s - 1970s).
Minutes of meetings include reports from the Superintendent of the Women’s Welfare Department. From 1959 these list ‘cases’ and give details about the situations of particular girls and babies admitted that year. Throughout minutes names are included in different ways. Pseudonyms (Christian name) are used, occasionally with real name of child handwritten next to pseudonym (1957-1959, 1961-1962). In 1960-1961 some full names are given. No names mentioned after 1963. Quantity: 2 notebooks. The Methodist Church homes were run by the Adelaide Central Methodist Mission, now known as Uniting Communities. Records are held at the Uniting Communities.
