What does this mean - base son (General)

by Janet Jenkins, (5152 days ago)

Can anyone please tell me what this means on a baptism parish record:

Memoranda: [1]base S[on]


Only the mother's name is listed; no father.

Does it mean 'bastard son'? Mother not married to father?


Thank you for any information.
