If you have ancestors in the Wolverhampton area you may find this site of interest

http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/resources/indexes

From the parish registers for Bilston there is this entry

Sarah Brookes baptised 3 January 1796 illegitimate daughter of Maria

Great thanks Emeltom.
Is it likely that the Brookes name will be that of the father?
I will look at the Wolverhampton site.
All much appreciated.

I would guess that her mother was Maria Brookes.

Okay thanks for that - I am just aware that an illegitimate child in another of my trees has the surname of his father.

thanks a zillion
