Bastardy Bonds are normally held at the relevant Record Office.

Hi,

I've found information about Bastardy Bonds here,

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

just put Bastardy + (name of person) in the search box and you might get a result that will tell you where the record is held.


Regards,
Daisy
