| The names of
children were rarely included in Bastardy Bonds, however, it is
sometimes possible to compare the names of the mothers and the dates
with Apprenticeship records to determine the child’s name because
most illegitimate children were required to be bonded out.
Listed across with Father’s name, amount posted (where noted), and
Mother’s name.
