  • A memorial plaque is seen among vegetation in a corner of the grave site where Catherine Corless, a local historian from Tuam, claims to be the resting place of 796 children, most of them infants, who died between 1925 and 1961 at the ‘Home’, a old single mother and baby orphanage called St. Mary’s, run by Sisters of Bons Secours. The story that emerged from Corless’s research has been reported in recent weeks in dramatic headlines around the world, with many describing the site, used in the past as a septic tank for the orphanage, as a mass grave.

  • Local historian Catherine Corless contemplates childhood photographs in her house in the outskirts of Tuam, Ireland. Corless's investigation into a burial site in St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, where she believed 796 children, most of them infants, were interred between 1925 and 196, proved to be right when a state-financed investigation uncovered the remains of babies, small children and foetuses interred where she said they would.

  • Peter Mulryan, a former resident of the St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, working at his family home in Ballinasloe, Ireland. Mulryan, who grew up in a abusive foster family, is seeking information about the fate of the infant sister he has never known after she went into the St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam. He says Catherine Corless, whose research uncovered a pit at the home where it is suspected many children were buried, contacted him in 2014 to say she believed she had identified his sister among the 796 children interred at the site.
