Title: Westwell Bastardy Records: Chambers
Post by: conygar on Saturday 20 May 17 12:23 BST (UK)

Jane was the daughter of Sarah Chambers, a single woman, and baptised April 1829 in Westwell.  As per the Parish Register.
In May 1829 Sarah Chambers married a William Friday in Westwell.  As per the Parish Register.
Jane was given as Jane Chambers on her marriage certificate when she married Robert Linkins and yet she gave her maiden name of Friday for her children when they were born.

Given Sarah and William married only a month after Jane's birth I wondered if he was listed as the reputed father in any bastardy bonds paperwork.

I would be really grateful for a look up for this, please.

I doubt there would be a bond if they married straight after Janes Birth.
