Hi Blindcrake, you have responded to an old post but I think you would be better beginning a new thread of your own. Hope this helps. Cx. |

Thank you for all your ideas. Definitely given me some different areas of enquiry to consider. |

You might find mention of the child in the father's Will.....perhaps not so likely if the high-profile family wanted to keep this quiet, but... |

Even if you found she had worked there it would not prove anything |

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to find out the father of illegitimate offspring. Following a significant amount of research and some wrong turns I appear to have established the identity of my GGG Grandfather but since it is a fairly high profile family not sure of the best way to approach the topic. It would appear that this person had an affair with one of his maid's in 1869. Is there any harm in contacting the estate of this person and asking if they have any records to confirm if she actually worked for them? Many thanks. |
