Norfolk Bastardy Records
« on: Saturday 01 July 17 08:58 BST (UK) »
Morning one and all,

I have finally found my ancestor Joesph Dodman's baptism.
Baptised 20 Nov 1774 in Northwold, Norfolk, England.
Mother Ann Dodman.
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/5818c20ae93790eca3c68cc7?search_id=59569ba5791e3b6d0d334241&ucf=false

Now from this entry it appears he was illegitimate. So are there any Bastardy records for Norfolk ?

I'd like to find out more about Joseph, and Ann. I know about Joseph's marriage to Rebecca Watson in Lynn.

A search of online Parish Registers there seems to be no Ann in Northwold.

Ideas Welcomed.

Did you see that there is a Settlement Certificate for Ann on the NROCAT site?

Sorry about long link, doing this on iPad.


If it doesn't work search for Dodman Ann

Morning,

The link worked perfectly thanks.  :)

I'll get in touch with the Norfolk Records Office and see if I can get a copy of this.

I've never had any dealings with these things before what will it include ?
