Settlement & Bastardy Index Lookup
« on: Sunday 19 January 14 07:34 GMT (UK) »
William Taylor was baptised 24 June 1827 at St Dunstan, Baltonsborough. His mother was recorded as Fanny Taylor, Singlewoman.

On the 1861 census William is recorded as aged 35 years and born at Baltonsborough.

Information obtained from a non confirmed source on the internet is that William's father was William Penny who died in 1827.

As William Taylor was born out of wedlock, I'd appreciate it if someone who is visiting the Somerset Record Office, would check the Settlement & Bastardy Index to see if there is a Bastardy Order in respect of William Taylor.  Any info would be helpful.
