Do you purchase b /d /m certs for people you have a definite date for on your family tree ..?

I have bought quite a few, mainly to find their father's names & occupation. I found out my 3 x great grandmother had commited bigamy. She must have been quite a scarlet lady for her time, had two children with the family lodger and then married someone else while 1st husband was still very much alive,

Have you ever traced the father of an illegitmate child ?

I have two in my direct line and found the bastardy orders on the A2A site, One was ordered to pay 2/6 a week, the other eventually married the mother.

No, I have only done direct lines, but know there are a few illegitimate peeps in my branches. The nearest I know of is my paternal grandmother was pregnant with my aunt when she married my grandfather.

Do you think any of the MPs caught up in this expenses scandal should resign ?
