Hi

Unless there was a bastardy order against his father - there will be no way of finding who he was.

There don't appear to be any bastardy records:

http://search.shropshirehistory.org.uk/collections/getrecord/CCA_XP22/

But you can check in Shropshire Archives reading room, where they are indexed.

Some lines of inquiry:

but it seems like this may be a dead-end.
