An e-mail to the archives would be a good starting point. Link here

Thank you Edward,
 I have done that already.
Lucky me found the baptism record but no father.
Of course now I'm gung ho to find out who the father is.

Did you ask the archives what (if any) bastardy records exist for this parish and whether this child was shown?

Thanks again Edward, I did find the baptism but there are no Bastardy records for Waddingham sadly.
So back to square one, no father's name for my Sally Stamp.

The archives advised me that there are no Bastardy records for Waddingham.
I did find the baptism record but no father listed.
Thanks again Sylvia

Shame there are no records but there are very few are in existence. I presume Sally didn't name one when she married either.
