I've been hearing about the family scandel from my mother and she just told me about an illigitimate child that my great uncle fathered, The story goes thus.... while my Great uncle was staying with my grandparents he got a girl pregnant that worked in the local dairy. She was (we think) sent to the west country for confinement. This would have been around about 1950ish What are my chances of ever finding this line? I know it's got to be pretty slim, he might not even have been put on the cert as the dad!
