Would anybody visiting the Cheshire County Records Office be kind enough to check whether a bastardy or maintenance order was made for Thomas Taylor born about 1821 in Macclesfield ? As he was illegitimate his mother's surname was also Taylor - possibly Elizabeth or Hannah.
I hope I am not asking too much. I was in the Nottingham records office the other day and the Bastardy Orders are all indexed so I guess this may be the same in other county records offices? The name is pretty common as well so I hope there aren't lots of orders for Thomas Taylor's.
Thank you
