Bastardy records Chipping Campden
« on: Friday 07 October 11 11:45 BST (UK) »
I am looking for LOOKUP help re Sarah Langston ( shown as Longston in IGI ) who gave birth to Martin Langston in July 1795 in Chipping Campden. Martin was christened in October 1795. Sarah is listed as the mother but there is no mention of the father in the records. It seems likely that there would have been a bastardy inquest at that time which identified the father. There are bastardy records at Gloustershire record office covering 1795. Would appreciate someone seeing what information is available. I am a direct descendant.Many thanks
Ted Russell

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. There is a list of the inhabitants of Chipping Campden in 1786 in the GRO but there are no Langston(e)s in the list.
Martin Bolton Langston was listed as a tailor in Chipping Campden in a Gloucestershire directory in 1830, but the family fell on hard times. They are listed in the Overseers records of Chipping Campden in 1830 as being transferred to the Bengeworth poor house in Worstershire. There are good records of that poorhouse, but not for the period they were there.
