Title: Black / Martin / Swartz Waterloo Road, Cheetham Hill, Manchester UK
Post by: Anniebc44 on Tuesday 10 September 24 09:08 BST (UK)
Having hit a brick wall, I reach out for any ideas where I go next.
Are there Paternity / Bastardly claim files in the Manchester area 1932-1934?
I live abroad, but have flown over to Manchester for 1 week and Bradford 1 week, to research Library, museums etc.
Although i found several items, the one i was unable to find was the claim files.
The father was named on the Unmarried Mother Home form, but not on the Birth Certificate.
His address was also stated. I found him on a Electoral register, for this address 1932, but no other year or Census.
DNA all points to the individuals living at this address and their relatives, but they have a different surname from the named father (i believe it may be an alias).
The Paternity / Bastardly file may hold the key.
Although the father’s address is Cheetham Hill, Manchester, the mother was from Grimsby and my grandfather was born in Bradford, so unsure where this particular ‘case’ would be registered.

I would think it would be wherever the mother was living at the time any order was made

And usually they can be found in the local archives by searching under the mother's name.

Thank you. Does anyone have access to Grimsby or Bradford archives and could assist?

Just a thought, not very far from Cheetham Hill Road there is a Manchester district of Bradford.
It may well be no use to you at all but just in case I mention it.

I lived on Bradford Road, so know the area very well.
The areas included were areas and M/c Streets in their own right .Ours was Newton , but later  got engulfed in Miles Platting .
The list seems to encompass areas I knew but were still under their old names.
Bradford was from Philip’s’ Park to Ashton old road , lower down was Beswick then Ancoats.
Newton Heath was above Newton ( old district name) which was Manchester 10.
Thanks for the details,always interested in “ my”Manchester.
Viktoria.
