Hi
Does anyone know what Marylands Downage Hendon was in about 1945?
I have a relative born out of wedlock and on the birth certificate under the column "residence of informant" it says mother & Marylands Downage Hendon.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Hi Gary, asked a work colleague who lives in Hendon and is an ancient one!
He says (and I partially confirmed it via google that it was c1945 St Mary C of E School in Marylands Road,)it is still there.
Hope this helps.

There is today a Maryland House in The Downage, Hendon NW4 1AA.
It's a medical equipment company today. I don't know what it was in 1945. If you want, you can call it up on Multimap and use birds eye view.

There's some confusion here, I think
It's true that St Mary's C of E school is in Downage (not The Downage!), but it was built well after 1945, more like the 1960s. The even-numbered houses in Downage are on the opposite side of the road from the school, and were built (I would say) 1910s-1920s. They are large family homes, and a few have now been converted into flats.
To find out what was at Maryland House, Downage, in 1945, your best bet would be to email Barnet Local Studies. The staff are normally very prompt to reply and very helpful.

Trade directories might be a good bet. London Metropolitan Archives and Guildhall Library should have something relevant.

It may well have been a convent or a home for unmarried mothers run by nuns or some kindly souls and the school has been built on the land since or taken over the building and expanded. Marie
