In practice such examinations were frequently held after the birth, and were held before two Justices of the Peace. The examination was directed at forcing the mother to swear to the name of the father of the child.

Fathers who could be identified in this way were obliged to enter into Bastardy Bonds to ensure that they paid regular support to the mother and child. If they failed to pay this support, they were legally obliged to pay the parish a substantial sum in compensation, often to the amount of £60 to £80.

"Dear Sir,

I have given you all the information about my father and my family that I can. There was a man here in High Point a few years ago that said he read in the Atlanta Constitution an advertisement that there was not less than 50 or 60 millions of dollars in England for heirs in America by the name of Gurley. I would like you to tell me who appointed you to investigate the Gurley record and why the Gurleys that live here and in Johnson Co. is the closest connection to the Gurley that left England and settled in Scotland. You are a relation, but not so closely related as the Gurleys in Johnson Co. I would like to know why you went to England to search the records if you did not know that this money was coming to the Gurley heirs in America. I will give you all the information I can and help you if you will tell me plainly that you are trying to get that money if not i will not tell you anything more.

Respectlfully,

John Gurley" in 1911.7 He died on 14 October 1918 at High Point, NC, at age 91.4
