In this presentation we explore Baptisms and Birth certificates. We explore the data contained within, and why some elements may not be included. We explore Bastardy Legislation of 1733, Bastardy Bonds, Examinations and Warrants and the differences between them, and the situation after the 1834 Poor Law Act.
We look at Foundlings and facilities that provided for children, either on a temporary basis or more permanently, and the impact of illegitimacy upon inheritance – there are a number of examples throughout, including some global examples.
We move then to brief look at the Adoption of children, both before 1927 and after, and the legislative processes and what happens to the original birth certificate and the one issued post adoption.
