These Bastardy Bonds would be held with other parish records. At the NRO
the parish records are listed but not indexed, they are in boxes, foolscap
size, stuffed full of lists of the holdings for each parish, and quite
jumbled up. Registers are indexed (sort of) but other parish records are
not. To look for these would take a fair old bit of searching with no
guarantee of coming up trumps, the Bond might not have even survived.
