Bastardry bond look up!

[littleem1906]

I am looking for a bastardry bond for the following child


Philipps Sheward, 25 Apr 1762, s. of Elizabeth Sheward, Orelton.
His father could have been called Philip.

Can anyone help me find it?

Hi

There are two Orletons - you don't say which

Orleton in Worcestershire?

or Orleton in Herefordshire?

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/HEF/Orleton/index.html

The IGI confirms the latter

PHILIPPS SHEWARD 
Christening:  25 APR 1762   Orleton, Hereford
Mother:  ELIZABETH SHEWARD 


More likely his father's surname was Phillips.

Herefordshire Recoird Office will hold any poor law records that exist for Orleton

The topic can be moved to the Herefordshire lookup board if you wish?
