These records are held by Prince of Wales Hospital (1953 - current).
The amount of information available in these records varies depending on the time period. Earlier records are less comprehensive than records dating from the 1960s. Information given may include mother’s name, address, where transferred from, age, occupation, and religion. Later records also include the mother’s date of birth and, occasionally, details of next of kin. The records also include clinical information such as treatment given, etc. These records were transferred to the Prince of Wales Hospital when the St Margaret’s Hospital closed.
Access to information relating to adoption cases is restricted to the adoptee and the birth parents. For access to these records please contact Prince of Wales Hospital.
