In life and in death, babies who died at Bessborough were considered disposable, and to be born in the Cork mother and baby home in the early 1940s was akin to a death sentence.
Just over a year ago, I obtained through a Freedom of Information request to the General Register Office (GRO) the death certificate details of 816 children registered as dying at the Bessborough mother and baby home, at the adjacent Sacred Heart Maternity Hospital, or after transfer to St Finbarr’s Hospital. They make for grim reading.
The first baby registered as dying at Bessborough is Nora Cronin, who was five months old when she died in on Saturday 30 December, 1922. Her cause of death listed as “gastric convulsions”. Over the following 72 years hundreds more would die, the majority of those deaths occurring in the first three decades of the home’s existence.
Between 1922 and 1998 the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary ran Bessborough as a mother and baby home. During that time, 9,768 mothers and 8,938 babies were admitted. According to the final report of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation, which was published yesterday, 923 children in the care of Bessborough died.
Last year, the commission cited “small” discrepancies between Bessborough’s records and those given to the GRO, but the records accessed by the commission show that 107 more babies died – or were said to have died – in the care of Bessborough than were actually certified by the GRO. Such discrepancies can only compound survivors’ long-held and often-confirmed suspicions surrounding false reporting, vaccine trials and forced adoptions.
The numbers and attributed causes of death reveal that Bessborough is clearly a tale of two eras: pre-1945 and post-1945. Survivor testimony says the home remained an unforgiving place long after 1945, but in terms of sheer scale, it’s worth noting that of the 816 deaths notified to the GRO, 659 occurred before 1945.
Between 1922 and 1930, 81 babies are certified as having died at Bessborough, an average of nine per year, with the average age at death 32 weeks. The leading reported causes of death were marasmus (a medical term relating to starvation), accounting for 31 deaths, and gastroenteritis accounting for 19 deaths.
Between 1931 and 1940, 267 children died at Bessborough, their average age at death 13.5 days. Marasmus accounted for 72 deaths, gastroenteritis for 33 deaths.
Between 1941 and 1950, 364 children are certified as having died, 311 between 1941 and 1945, their average age at death 13 weeks. Congenital illnesses were the leading reported cause of death, accounting for 102 deaths. Gastroenteritis accounted for 41 deaths, and marasmus accounted for 38.
“To be born in Bessborough in the early 1940s was almost certainly a death sentence,” according to Professor Louise Kenny, of the University of Liverpool, who told me that the majority of children born in Bessborough then died of what were then entirely preventable illnesses.
“These kids were not dying from sepsis, measles, or illnesses not treatable at the time; some were dying simply because they were considered disposable.”
Ireland’s infant mortality rate – relating to babies dying in the first year of life – was 66 deaths per 1,000 births (6.6%) between 1941 and 1950, while in Bessborough the rate for the same period was 360 deaths per 1,000 births. A baby born in Bessborough between 1941 and 1950 was over six times more likely to die in infancy than a baby born in the general population.
Between April 1943 and March 1944, 124 babies were either born at Bessborough or admitted there after birth, while 102 children were officially certified as having died there, with government inspection reports at the time citing an 82% infant mortality rate in the home.
“I’ve never seen so high an infant mortality rate, not even in the most famine-stricken parts of Africa,” Professor Kenny says.
Noting the high incidence of deaths attributed to marasmus and gastro-enteritis at Bessborough, Kenny suggests gastro-enteritis appears to have been used as a catch-all term. “The records reveal a callous disregard for accuracy.”
As Conall Ó Fatharta reported previously in the Irish Examiner, a June 1941 government inspection report found that the matron, Mother Gleeson, had no qualifications in supervising maternity care. It suggested a “tendency to discourage breastfeeding” might be partly responsible for Bessborough’s soaring infant mortality rate. In a chilling response, Gleeson denied this, saying that women were in fact forced to breastfeed.
A subsequent 1943 report found that, of the 27 babies in the nursery aged between three weeks to nine months, only eight were breastfed and only three fully.
“The greater number were miserable scraps of humanity, wizened, some emaciated and almost all had rash and sores all over their bodies, faces, hands and heads.”
In 1945 Dr James Deeny, Chief Medical Advisor, travelled to Bessborough, discovering: “Every baby had some purulent infection of the skin and all had green diarrhoea, carefully covered up.”
Acting without legal authority, Deeny ordered that the home be closed, and he sacked Mother Gleeson and the home’s medical officer, Dr JT O’Connor.
O’Connor had claimed Bessborough’s 82% infant mortality rate was due to “illegitimate” children sometimes failing to digest breast milk, their gestation period being – he said – different to that of children of marriage because their mothers are “overcome with stress at their condition”.
Bessborough reopened under Mother Rosemonde in September 1945, and conditions improved dramatically, with annual infant deaths dropping to single figures within two years, where they stayed for the following five decades.
Bessborough remained a cruel place, according to June Goulding, a midwife there from 1951, writing in her 1998 memoir The Light in the Window that women were denied pain relief during labour.
It’s hard, trawling through the data from Bessborough’s early decades, not to question the truthfulness of the language used. Other questions arise. How many of the mothers were rape victims? Were children certified as dying of “congenital debility” in fact Disabled children who were allowed to die? And did they all actually die? Or, as a 2012 HSE report worried, were records falsified to cover up illegal adoptions?
Some children are reported as dying of “congenital syphilis”, but for all the implicit and unjust judgement of the mothers in that, never once is there a mention of the fathers. And – again – given how obviously the nuns generalised, obfuscated and outright lied, there is little reason to trust them in this instance.
Between 1931 and 1975, the occupations of deceased babies were recorded. Of 676 children, 628 were listed as “child of domestic servant”. Thirty-five were “child of farmer’s daughter”.
Five were “child of schoolgirl”.
If, as Professor Kenny suggests, some Bessborough babies died because they were considered “disposable” in life, then many were disposable in death too.
The bodies and burial records of over 800 children are missing, and the Commission of Investigation concluded last year that it is “highly likely” that some of those babies may be buried on the Bessborough grounds.
With a planning application under consideration for 246 flats on the former Bessborough grounds, Taoiseach Micheál Martin last month told Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire TD that he was not sure the land should be developed.
Bridget Walsh has welcomed publication of the Bessborough names. Bridget’s baby William died unnecessarily in the home in 1960, and I had the privilege, six years ago, of being the first journalist to whom Bridget spoke.
“The babies had so little in life,” Bridget said, “but the least anyone deserves is a name.
“Maybe now people know their names, maybe the babies seem more like real people to them, and maybe too the babies know that they were loved, like my William was loved.”
On Wednesday, 10 August, 1994, a two-day-old baby girl named Zoei Bonny died at St Finbarr’s Hospital, Cork. Her cause of death was certified as “Bilateral pneumothoraces due to arterial ventilation”.
Of the 816 Bessborough babies certified as having died in the home, or in St Finbarr’s, Zoei is the most recent.
…
The Bessborough Babies
Here are the death certificate details of the 816 children registered at the General Register Office as having died at the Bessborough mother and baby home, at the adjacent Sacred Heart Maternity Hospital, or after transfer to St Finbarr’s Hospital.
While these details are in the public record, and are available to all, I decided to redact the surnames of the babies born after 1970, with two exceptions: Zoei Bonny, who was the last child registered as having died in the care of Bessborough, and whose mother gave me permission to use her full name; and Evelyn O’Gorman, who was born in 1971, and whose mother, Ann, has spoken on the record about her search for Evelyn. I should add that while Evelyn was actually born in July 24, 1971, her birth certificate records the date as July 24, 1972, and her death certificate is similarly a year later than it should be.
I am aware that this redaction could be seen as an arbitrary decision, but I did not wish to cause any hurt or pain to any of the mothers who might be identified from their babies’ surnames.
If you are a survivor of Bessborough, or a relative, and if there might be any way in which I might be of assistance, I would ask that you please contact me at donalokeeffewrites@gmail.com
