Falkirk Illegitimacy Index 1841-1918

[ScottishAncestry]

Hi,

We have created an index to paternity cases heard at the Falkirk Sheriff Court (1841-1918). You can find out more about our indexing project here (https://www.scottishindexes.com/learningcourt.aspx).

Our index has been created by a wonderful volunteer so the index is free to access and gives a lot of detail.

These are cases where the father of an illegitimate child was forced to pay 'maintenance' for the child. I like to search for male ancestors and see how many illegitimate children they had!

Hope these records help someone.

Emma
