Bastardy Bonds, Somerset

[diabak]

I am trying to find a possible Bastardy Bond request or grant for a child  born 5 Feb 1809, and Baptised  19 Feb 1809 in Yarlinjgton.  His name was Andrew Hoskins, mother Anne. She married William Wadley Alias Pitman, who I assume was also illeg. in 1812 in Yarlington.
Always suspected he was Andrews father, but need confirmation.

thanks

I think the only place you could find this information would be the Taunton Heritage Centre who holds this kind of records. Do not think they have put these 'online' yet
