I had intended to do this myself, but it looks as though a trip to Gloucester is a long way away, so here's hoping: Are Bastardy Bonds difficult to locate and look up? I wondered, if it wasn't too onerous, if someone could check out the following 2 people on a visit to the GRO - Emily Jane HULBERT born to Grace HULBERT in 1847 and Edwin John HULBERT born to Grace in 1849. I have Edwin in the census of 1851 living with John and Sarah PITT of Hillesley, listed as "grandson". Geoffro did volunteer to do a lookup one time but that was before all those wills turned up - I think I may have missed the boat !! :-)) Marilyn Milton Keynes
