If the mother sued him for upkeep of the child, you may find some info..........but the chances are slim. |

Depending on the year, you will need to look at bastardy bonds, which are held in the relevant records office for the area or court records |

We found a birth in a parish record where the child was "baseborn", it gave the mother's name and in the margin stated the name of "reputed father" |

We have a Will where a man names his 'Natural son', who has a different surname. |

If the birth is after 1918 you can look at adoption records at the family history centre in london ec1 |
