Born out of wedlock (General)

If somebody was born out of wedlock in the 1820- 1860 period was the father guilty of a crime of basterdary and if so were records kept which could be viewed on line.
I ask becuase my greatgreat grandfather Thomas Fisher of Lydbrook may fall into this category as i cannot find any birth details for him (born 1840 +- 1year) and his marriage certificate shows his father as a George Combs.
kind regards
