In all the illegitimacy cases I've found in my tree, the babies were brought up by the mother's relatives (parents or sisters) while the mother earned their keep. Only one of the certs names a father - a man who appears on the census as married to someone else and with a less posh job than given on the birth cert. However, since he would have had to appear at the register office to have his name on the cert I'm assuming he did acknowledge the child and hope he paid towards her upkeep.

I have looked at some but like all records you need to know what to look for when at records offices.

I can't wait for them to be online and searchable
