Please can anyone help?
Thanks inadvance

I don't know Yorkshire, but with your query, my next action would be to see if there is a Church in Bedale, and see if I could find out where the baptism records are kept. The result will depend on how meticulous the vicar was, but most registers show both parents names, probably Christian names only.
I Googled Bedale, and there are several sites about the town. If you look at the Genuki one, the Bedale St Gregory Parish Church records are at the North Yorkshire Record Office in North Allerton (www.northyork.gov.uk). Have a look at the contact details there. No guarantees of course, and geneology is full of wild goose chases, but worth a shot. My library here in Devon will photocopy and send you a page from a parish register for £1.50 if you don't live nearby.

You could do with tracking down the local record office, Bedale is North Yorkshire so I have provided a link to the North Yorkshire record office, hope this helps.
Good luck and good hunting
