BASTARDY SETTLEMENT APPRENTICESHIP

Bastardy bonds and examinations, with parish register entries relating to base children, have been added

These tend to be formulaic and record simple facts of names etc. However, they give family detail and background detail in some instances.  Where possible,they have been cross-referenced with parish register entries to show that an individual named on a bond or examination is the same as the person named in the register.
