I had NRO search records for my ancestors. It appears that they were (base) which I think means illegitimate. These records came from Gorleston Parish Suffolk.
Ann Bullard, mother died 1739
Lemuell, baseborn son of Anne Bullard b. 25 November 1705
Robert, son of Anne Bullard b 23 December 1690
Catherine, daughter of Anne Bullard 30 December 1697. I have tried to find bastardy records or records of the father. Havent been successful as yet. Cannot seem to find a list of people in the workhouse either. Can you please give me some guidance
