Summary

[Taken from the New South Wales publication Connecting Kin: Guide to Records]

The Monte Pio Orphanage was previously known as the Bishop Murray Memorial Home and was located in the Hunter Valley Region of NSW. The home provided residential care for girls aged from infancy to 16 years.

Unfortunately, very few records of children accommodated at this Home have survived. The information that does exist is located at the offices of CatholicCare Hunter-Manning Social Services. This agency has developed a database which lists the name of the child in care, their date of admission and discharge, and a cross reference to the surviving original records.
