Hi everyone Can any one please advise me whether any bastardy orders exist for Wichford for 1750 ish? and if so where I might find them. I have done an internet search but have not found anything. I am specifically looking for information about John EDDEN c. 25 Feb 1750 in Wichford, the Wichford PR states "John bastard son of Mary EDDEN". Thanks in anticipation Lynne Scaife _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Hi List, I was not aware of Bastardy roll / orders. Were they organised on a parish basis? My convict ancestor Charlotte Fox (Born about 1805) was transported from the Warwick Azzises in 1825 (Midas) she is listed as having 1 child who did not accompany her. She was from Finnoghal in North Warwick. I know prior to her arrest for highway robbery she had been itinerant ... So I have no idea were a child may have been listed unless the child grew up with grandparents. How do you search Bastardy rolls? Lynne thanks for drawing this to my attention to this.. If people have access to the rolls for Finnoghal I would appreciate their assistance.

Hello Ken I have transcribed some Illegitmacy Orders for Warwickshire and they are on Pickards Pink Pages www.hunimex.com/warwick/illegits.html They have been online for several years. but I stress that I only managed to cover 2 films out of the 3 available . Fillongley is included but not the surname FOX. (may be on the film I could not access ) Illegitimacy orders were issued against reputed fathers by some parish officials because not all parishes could afford to maintain bastards and unwed mothers so would try to recoup some payment from the reputed father. Not all official were so dilligent either so many illegitimate children are not listed. Bastardy Orders, Settlements and removal orders are useful documents to search and those surviving at WRO have been transcribed by Barbara Robinson . A CD is available to purchase http://www.midlandshistoricaldata.org/fhs_cov.html . http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/poorbastard.html Gives a very good outline of the type of document to look for but many have not survived. Very few have been indexed. You have to be very fortunate to find the document Sometimes the reputed father is listed in the parish registers, overseers accounts or Churchwardens accounts. try http://www.pricegen.com/resources/illegitimacy.htm for more details. Some illegitimacy orders were not enforced because the child died as an infant or was stillborn. Do a google search and you will find lots more information..
