As far as I know it's only at the archives but the A2A site hold details of some of the bonds/warrants and you can apply to the archive to send a copy to you. Sheila

I've never seen any online as such (not the full info), but sometimes you can get a lead from the indexing on a2a: http://www.a2a.org.uk/ Try entering the relevent surname and selecting the appropriate county record office. Merry

Hi Angie, Ill put my little bit for what its worth. Bastardy Orders may be in the Records Office/archives of the area local to the order - not that many have survived though - what era are we talking about? The lovely Sussex site spoken of on the Settlement Order thread on this page actually gives the orders for that area and the details - its brilliant - if only all FHS did this sort of thing. Have a go at googling - put Bastardy Orders with the area and possibly the surname you are looking for - you may strike lucky.(Make sure you spell Bastardy right when you search or you may miss some goodies)
