McCartney’s mother’s name was Mary Patricia Mohin. She was “a good Irish Catholic girl who was a trained nurse and midwife,” according to the Beatles biography The Love You Make by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines. She married the Beatle’s father, James McCartney, in 1941 when he was 39 and she was 32. Almost immediately after the wedding, Patricia became pregnant with Paul. When it came time to give birth to her son, Patricia received VIP treatment at Walton General Hospital because she used to be the head nurse in the maternity ward.
