Can anyone help me with this, please?
I have a birth certificate for WILLIAM ROWAN, born 11th May 1882 in LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE. Mother Bridget, servant, Bolton, Lancs. Father unknown.
Birth in the sub-district of Mount Pleasant.
Ref 8b 138
There's no mention of the father, as you can see. Are there any other records I can use to find out who he is? I've found her on the 1891 census with William, living as a boarder with another family.
I did read somewhere of Bastardy Bonds - anyone know what they are and where they are kept?
Any help would be much appreciated.
