These records are held by Family Spirit (2018 - current).
The Admission Registers from St Joseph’s Home for Children, Croydon comprise four volumes, that record: child’s name, date and place of birth; date received and date discharged; to whom discharged; religion; and parents’ names, addresses and occupations.
Physical access to the original records is not possible due to their fragility and the need to protect the privacy of others mentioned in the records.
These records were previously in the custody of the Archives of Mary MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph, in New South Wales. The records were subsequently transferred to CatholicCare Bankstown in 2012. In 2018, the records were held by Family Spirit.
