I just found this site after looking for some information on Penley. I was born at Penley on Jan. 27, 1947. My family name is Polkiewicz. Both my parents were at Penley before emigrating to Canada. My dad is still alive. I will see what he has for pictures from the camp.

I have just found this site. I never realised that there were so many people born in Penley Hospital no. 3 scattered about the world. I too was born there in March 1947, my parents who were not demobilised yet were moved from Penley to Felton Camp in Northumberland then to Maghull, nr. Liverpool. We then moved into the city itself

Hi everyone, Greetings from New Zealand. I am new to this forum. I am working on tracing my husbands (Andrzej) family but there is little information. I do know his father (Kazimierz) was born in the Polish Hospital and lived at Penley before moving with his mother to Stover settlement camp in Devon. Andrzej's dad's name is Kazimierz Pientak born in January 1947. His mother was Zofia Pietak (note the 'n' was inadvertently omitted (I believe) when Kaz's birth was registered). We don't know the name of Kaz's Dad - we believe he died of TB before he was born. Does anybody remember/recognise these names and do you have any stories. Any photos? Zofia lost her entire family (parents and 13 siblings) in a concentration camp. My husband and his Dad said she was a beautiful, kind, loving woman and they both loved her very much. Hence why I want to try and trace some of her life. Kaz currently resides in Devon. Andrzej migrated to NZ ten years ago where he met me. NZ and Poland share a great history which is another reason why I want to pursue this. I thank you sincerely! Melissa NZ

I'm new to this forum. I'm working on my family genealogy and am looking for information about my parents (Bronislaw Berszoner and Wladyslawa Burska) when they were young. Both of my parents came from Poland and met at Penley Hospital around 1949. They married and immigrated to the United States around 1954. My mother was a hospital waitress and my father was a cinema film operator. I have pictures of them during WWII and in England. If these names sound familiar to anyone, please contact me. I have a lot of gaps in my genealogy!
Thank you

I followed the story of my uncle, Antoni Uszynski, who took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944 and was seriously wounded and then transported to the Polish camp in Penley, where he spent the rest of his life. He died in Penley Hospital, Wrexham in 1988. I have his death certificate which I got from GRO. The certificate shows that the person who reported his death was Henryk Matuszak. If anyone has any information about Antoni Uszynski or Henryk Matuszak, please contact me: pjotrek7@gmail.com
