Memories of Trevalyn Manor Maternity Hospital c1950, Rossett
BORN HERE
I was born at Trevalyn Manor in August 1953. I have returned to The Golly these last few years for short holidays and still love the place. Does anyone know when the place closed as a maternity hospital? A lot of people will remember my brother David (Dai) Williams who is 12 years older than me. He has been asking about old school friends and neighbours, so if anyone can remember him we would love to know.
Trevalyn Hospital
I was born in this hospital on the 30/09/1955, my name was Derek Jones. After my birth I was adopted in Nov 1955, I am trying to find my birth mother, I have got her birth certificate but can't find if she married or not. I've been out a lot of money buying certificates but can't find my mother as Jones is a common name in Wales. I found my mother's mum, dad and great-grand parents. My mother's name is Lilian Mary Jones born 2 Feb 1934 and lived in 20 Bowydd Street, Blaenau Ffestiniog. Can anyone help me trying to trace my mother please?
PLACE OF BIRTH
This is the hospital where I was born in July 1947. My parents were living in Penycae at the time but in 1951 moved to England for my Dad's job. Apart from a brief visit to a relative in Wrexham in 1960, I have never returned to Wales and it is now my ambition to see Trevalyn Manor and Penycae.
