Illegitimate Milburn
« on: Sunday 09 May 10 15:14 BST (UK) »
Sorry if I ramble, I'd like your opinions on whether you think it is likely I will be able to get past my 3x g-grandfather who was illegitimate.

I have traced back to Thomas Milburn born c1814 in either Hutton Rudby or Whorlton. http://www.nryonline.co.uk/phpgedview/individual.php?pid=I167&ged=tree.ged

I found a baptism record which states his mother's name as Mary but no father.  When he marries in 1839 and then again in 1856 he lists his father as Thomas Appleton, a farmer but so far I have been unsuccessful in finding anything more than this.

So what do you think?  Am I unlikely to find anything else? 

TIA

Hi and welcome to rootschat
The only possibility might be to see if any of the parish records survive that mention payments for the child.  Bastardy bonds are rare but you might be lucky. If they do exist they will be at Northallerton Record Office I would think.   I suppose it is possible wills might help too.
The A2A site may be useful.
I have a feeling I have Appletons from that area but would have to check.  I know my Atkinsons came from Hutton Rudby.
Regards
Andrea
