We have a Will where a man names his 'Natural son', who has a different surname.

We found a birth in a parish record where the child was "baseborn", it gave the mother's name and in the margin stated the name of "reputed father"

Depending on the year, you will need to look at bastardy bonds, which are held in the relevant records office for the area or court records
