just discovered that you can search the catalogue at Cumbrian Archives.
They've got quite a good selection of Bastardy Orders, with name of mother & father.
In the Any text box, put Bastardy & the surname, then for Word Options click the And box.
Hopefully you'll get a list with blue numbers, if you click that, you'll get the details & names.
Couldn't find any of my Thompsons...but maybe you'll have some luck!
