St Joseph's Home for Children, Croydon
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. For access to information held within these records, please contact Family Spirit.
The Archives of Mary MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph held the records of St Joseph's Home Croydon until April 2013, when the records were moved to CatholicCare Adoption Services Bankstown, now known as Family Spirit.
