i haven't an electronic copy. Its a two page spread from the Westmorland Gazette. Either ring them or the library for a paper copy. Its hidden upstairs somewhere - will dig it out for you. I found St. Monica's a few years ago I went there purely on impulse and had no idea what type of place it was - it is a residential home for the elderly now. There are a few staff who were around when it was mother and baby home - one had photos. The impact of the visit was so emotional I couldn't bring myself to go back. For the first time I realised my mother was treated like some kind of criminal. Its quite difficult for me as my family still live in Cumbria and do not know much about the time I was born. I now feel ready to push it a bit more.I do know that there was a fire in the 70's and all the records were destroyed. Let me know what you find.
