Hello fellow researchers,
I have been trying to figure out a way to get hold of a Bastardy Record for the following ancestors:
Mother: Elizabeth Chamberlaine
Child: Mary Chamberlaine
Place: Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire
Date: 1807 (maybe 1808)
Record details: ref P81 OV 5/49
I found an indexed record for the Overseers Index and then went to Gloucestershire Archives online where I can again see the indexed record, but I can't order a copy as I keep getting an error message (very frustrating!). I am wondering if some kind soul could find out what the outcome of the bastardy hearing was, and if a father was named.
Mary Chamberlain (aka Chamberlaine/Chamberling) is christened in Chipping Campden in 1809. She goes on to marry a Charles Manton, also in Chipping Campden, in 1826.
Any help would be much appreciated!
