The Beds Archives have a register of the Bedford Workhouse(s) including birth registers (1836-57). If you know which workhouse, you then can get the particular parish, from which there ought to be christening records.

This should have the Admission record of the mother, & then the Discharge of mother & child. 

see    http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,211732.0.html

Hi Karen,  If you cannot get to the Archives you could try sending them an email.     

re PS;  I will once I've paid for the divorce.  I was told only the other day that I'm using RootsChat as a dating agency.
