H:
I am really excited tonight as I just received today the Bastardy record for my Edward Richardson. It lists who is his father was.. I never thought I would be able to get any further back then Edwards birth.
My question is. Can I know follow up on his father's family and put it on my family tree? Edwards parents did not marry and his mother married when Edward was 4 years old. If I can, then I think I have found some one that is researching Edward's fathers family.
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Anne

Thank you Andrea and Jill for the replies... I will certainly will following the family of Edward's Father. Jill: a distant rellie found this record and e-mailed it to me yesterday. I never thought I would find out who is father was. Gives me hope that I can find the father of my Sarah Frankish. He says the documents are held at the East Riding Of Yorkshire Archives and Records Services.
It is a cold windy day here and looks like rain so going to spend it researching..
have a good day
Cheers
Anne

that, just because I'm totally incapable of searching their online catalogue, doesn't necessarily mean there are no Bishop bastardy records to be found!
Jill
Hi Jill
The online catalogue has a bastardy record for a Rebecca Bishop c1815.
Put 'bastardy bishop' in the 'any text' search box and in the 'word options' tick the 'AND' box, then search
hope this helps

Bee - you absolute star!!
Rebecca Bishop is my 3x great grandmother, and she was a bit of a girl, to say the least!
She never married, but by my reckoning, she had 9 children. I'm still ploughing through the search results on the ERY Archives website but so far have found Bastardy Examinations in respect of 3 of the children (by 3 different men!  ) - including her son George who is my 2x great grandfather. And I've actually got the name of his father!! Yippee, another line to trace!!
I'd always sort of assumed that the children might have all (or mostly) been the offspring of Rebecca and one man, who was perhaps married or her employer or something similar and who kept and maintained her and the children. Looks like I was wrong!
Can't wait to get back to the search later this afternoon.
Wow! I'm so glad I asked! 
Jill

Thanks for that website recommendation. I just put in my grandmother's maternal surname (not very common one) and came up with 3 documents, which may well belong to our family. I'll be writing to the office to see how much it costs to get copies. So thanks again - it may well be another step along the way!

Hi everyone, if you go to www.englishparishregisters.com you can buy these records and many more for only a couple of quid. They're sent by email, so you get them back almost immediately. I've bought loads of stuff off this site - it's the best!

) . I've searched the ERY catalogue for bastardy records to do with a branch of my family but had concluded that there was nothing to find because I couldn't find anything on the search. I know a lot of the records didn't survive so wasn't too surprised.
