Does anyone know anything about St Ann's Birthing centre? In Kyber Pass., Auckland. Perhaps a web link?

Thanks.

They will most likely have more information besides this record.

Contact Auckland Library, or Museum who will possibly have more info.

There is a St Ann's at 43 Arney Road Remuera which is close to Khyber Pass Rd so it could have come under that area. It doesn't mention the building being used as a maternity hospital but could well have been.

Do a search for "maternity hospitals auckland 1930s" or similar and just work through them. But the Archives info I gave you will be your first port of call.

Some birth notices on Papers Past give the address for St Ann's Maternity Hospital as 83 Khyber Pass.

Just to discount the St Ann's at Arney Road, which is featured in the Herald today.
