ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

The Tuam Mother and Baby ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ was one of ten Irish institutions run by religious orders where thousands of unmarried pregnant women are thought to have been sent. A child died there nearly every two weeks between the mid 1920s and 60s. Anna Corrigan describes how she has only recently discovered that her mother Bridget gave birth to two baby boys there and that she is trying to uncover if one of them, John, is one of the 796 babies discovered on the site and if the other, William, is still alive.
