I have been trying to trace an ancestor that was christened in to the Atkins family with the name of Elam Libni at Newbottle Northamptonshire on the 7th April 1861.
In quarter 1 (jan-mar) of the same year there is a birth entry made in the Brackley parish record for a 'male Adkins'. Was it a practice or common for an illigitimate birth to be just recorded as either male or female with the given surname during that period?
