born there in 1943
I was born in The Semon Emergency Hospital August 1943 and often wondered what it looked like and why I was actually born there and not in Bradford which is where my birth mother lived at the time, unless she was visiting Ilkley and was taken there as an emergency. I was adopted soon after birth. But have since met up with my half siblings. Both birth parent and adoptive parents are now deceased and so I never found out how I came to be born there.

RE: I was born there in 1943
I was born at Semon House, Ilkley on 1st July 1945. My mother was booked into St Luke's Hospital in Bradford, but because of the war it was full so quite a number of patients were sent on to Ilkley to the Semon emergency home. So there would be quite a number of people born there who should have been at their local hospitals.
