Im looking for Bastardy bonds that were probably written for a child that was born in 1861, Eldersfield, Worcestershire. I know there's a chance they don't exist but does it mean I now have to actually visit the Records Office or pay to have a look. Any ideas or does does anybody know a link where I can look for what I need. I'm soooo stuck Erika :-) x

	You could try searching for the name on the a2a website to see if anything crops up. If not, contact the Worcs archives. They may have an index and it would be a quick look up, or they might charge you for a search -I'm not familiar with them, so don't know what their policies are, but their website should tell you.
