Is the father´s name SMY, is that what is on cert?

I'm fairly sure my great great grandfather was illegitimate as on his baptism record his mother has the same surname as him and the father is listed with a different name.
sam manning harvey mother emma harvey, father george smy.
Where can i find out any info on them I can't find any bastardy orders for george in the district of bosmere where they were in mickfiekd suffolk. Any ideas?
