My great grandfather, Amos Bottrill, was illigitimate and born at Toft Monks, Norfolk, on the 20th May 1854 (date not very clear on birth cert. but registration definitely on 27th May 1854). His mother was Mary Bottrill. Her family all lived at the village of North Kilworth in Leicestershire. I assume she was sent away to have the baby. I do not know what happened to her after she had Amos but thought it might just be possible she was in the workhouse at Heckingham.

The birth was registered in the District of Loddon, Sub-district Aldeby.
