Here is the email address for the library.

I have found them very helpful looking at parish registers, they will do a 30 min search free.

I would rather not put the accused's name on here as he may still be living and his family may not know of his background as he was only 18 at the time in 1964.

Will have to try the library

Try the local library...ours has our local paper archives for the last hundred years or so on microfiche with an index you can search by first to narrow the hunt down

OH's brith mother has just said the same reggie - apparently she went to the Doctors at 7 months with her Dad ( she had hid the pregnancy until then ) and she believes it was the Doctor who told the Police and he was arrested the next day.

If they locked them up for that nowadays, the prisons wouldn't be able to cope!!!!

He did go to prison that much we do know but not sure if it was publishable in the 60's - got a 15 year old pregnant and he was 18.

You could try contacting the Huddersfield Examiner which is the local newspaper .
I'm sure there would have been a story on it if he went to prison
