Bastards!
A page from Australia which has since fallen off the internet says, about a place in Somerset, England...
Many family historians are faced with new challenges when they discover that an ancestor has been born illegitimately. Poor law records can be an excellent source of information on such children, as unmarried mothers rarely had the means to support their bastard offspring and so frequently turned to the parish for help. 15% of those receiving relief in West Monkton in 1815 were women with illegitimate children. Rebecca Cridland had three illegitimate children born to her between 1803 and 1810 and the Overseer's Accounts reveal that she and her '3 bastards' were supported by the parish until at least 1817, usually on an allowance of between £6-7 per month. Rebecca was still receiving regular relief in the 1830s, hence being supported continuously by West Monkton for close to thirty years in spite of the fact that the Select Vestry records note that she was 'an infamous prostitute'. Another member of the Cridland family is recorded as being 'of a very bad (character) having 5 children by 5 different fathers'. While the parish register will no doubt record the baptism of these children it is unlikely to give any direct insight into her character as the poor law records do.
Details about the father of an illegitimate child may also sometimes be located in the poor law records although not recorded on the baptism register. The above-mentioned Mary Cridland had been apprenticed out by the parish in December 1798 at the age of 12 to Thomas Paul, a local yeoman, to learn housewifery until 21. She was the subject of two known bastardy allegations, in the first instance James Drewe, a baker of Ham, Creech St Michael, was ordered to pay 20/-for her lying in and 1/6 weekly with Mary expected to contribute another 9d weekly. In 1824 James Southwood, a servant baker of West Monkton, was similarly examined and could provide no reason why he should not be declared the putative father of a child born to Mary in May of that year. He had to pay £2-12-0 in costs and 2/- weekly, with Mary to contribute an additional 6d.
House
In Dayton OH, USA - the place the Wright brothers started flight - there's a house at 601 McLain Street called Thomas H Cridland House owned by, amazingly, Thomas H Cridland who was an English immigrant and photographer.
Comedy
Bless This House, not the moderately unpleasant UK sitcom but a US one instead, had an episode (Season 1 Episode 4) written by Susan Cridland Wick. She was co-producer of Touched by an angel and was a writer for Married with Children.
