Can anyone decipher the added text on this 1851 census entry?
It reads: Edmund Williams, Bastard Boy (crossed out with some text above it), 7, a base child
I am trying to read the text above Bastard Boy as it may give some clue as how Edmund ended up in this household.
The record can be seen here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKV6-GFVJ and if you have access to findmypast you can click through to see the original image.
