If you mean 1915, then there won't be bastardy bonds as these had died out. There might be a court order to award payment, if the mother went to court to get money from the father. But equally, she might have just come to an arrangement that he would pay her for the child, without any formal documentation. You could try to find a baptism for her as that might give her father's name. Both the baptism registers and the court details (will be in the Quarter Sessions) will be at the relevant county records office. nell |
