My wife was briefly in the Nursing Home prior to adoption in 1945. Does anyone have any details about this place?

Barry - any idea about the name or location within Harrogate of the Nursing Home? I live in the town and could check the library to see if they have a local directory for the period in question. Michael

Researching:
Researching descendants of John Mawbey and Henrietta Simpson who lived in Colmworth, Bedfordshire. John was born around 1802. The surname spelling changed through Moorby to eventually settle on different branches with either Morby, Morbey or Moorbey. Spread includes Cambridgeshire, Midlands, Manchester, Devon/Cornwall, Buckinghamshire and London.
