Our volunteers will not be in Weston Library until Jan 7th. 

You say that she was confined in a Weston Hospital - do you have the birth certificate for this child?  There is a birth registered of a Julia M CLARKE in the June qrt of 1944 in the Weston Registration District with the mother's maiden name of CLARKE - could this be the birth you are looking for?  If so the certificate should give the actual place of birth and the residential address of the mother when the birth was registered which may answer your questions.

You can read more about the House and the Park on this site concerning Historic England.

It was damaged by an incendiary bomb 4th Jan 1941 and this site also describes Grove Park and House and mentions the Coach House.  Although there were casualties in Weston at that time I don't think that there were any from Grove House itself.  On our site we do have a list of the local casualties who were buried in the Cemetery.  But there would have been others who were buried elsewhere.  A fuller list of casualties can be seen on the Fishponds Local History Site compiled by John Penny from his research of the bombing of Weston.
