Margaret - These Bastardy Bonds/Agreements can date from 1601 to 1834 and are either in the parish deposits or in Quarter Session records, Most Parishes filmed by LDS and can be found on 16 or 35 mm film, see Family search Library. Or your nearest FHC.

Ann SMALL born Selborne 27 January 1794, baptised Selborne 2 February 1794 Selborne, daughter of John Small and Sarah Unknown. Married 19 July 1818 Selborne William MILLS born Selborne 22 October 1796, baptised 29 October 1796 Selborne. An interesting note was made in the margin of the baptismal register: "William Mills by Thomas Volkes in adultery", though it doesn't stae which party had committed the adultery or whether both had! They were obviously from Selborne families but I have been unable to get any further - including establishing siblings for them or who William's father may have been - is anyone researching the Volkes family? Two of William and Ann's chldren were born in Selborne, including my gg.grandmother, Elizabeth, born in 1821. Many, many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction, preferably of online material as I live nowehere near Hampshire anymore!
