Illigitamacy 1930s Yorkshire,
I know in the 1800s if an apprentice got a girl pregnant he would have to quit being an apprentice if he married her.
What about in modern times like the 1930s

I dont think you can make a blanket statement about either time period.

laws/general practices could be vastly different from one country/state to another

and one apprentice type to another - and Im sure the laws have changed over the years. and each situation of illegitimacy could really be unique to itself.

 

I think you have to look at each case independently

I agree. It's entirely down to the rules of that particular apprenticeship. And really apprenticeship in the 20th century is a different thing from it a couple of centuries earlier. In the 20th century, it's much more like a training program with no signing of a legally enforceable indenture. Interfering in someone's personal life at that point would be almost certainly unacceptable.
