Can anyone help find any details on the father of the above please. His mother was Emma Edwards.

Hi

Unless there was a bastardy order against his father - there will be no way of finding who he was.

I have responded to this over at the Shropshire Family History Society Forum where the same query was posted:

There don't appear to be any bastardy records:

But you can check in Shropshire Archives reading room, where they are indexed.

Some lines of inquiry:

but it seems like this may be a dead-end.
