Scandal in the parish registers

[marquette]

I have been trawling the images of the Registers of Sparsholt Hampshire and came across these interesting entries.

"Christmas, son of Christmas Hewett (a Bastard) by Martha Rogers, was privately baptised May 22 1760"

and two entries down

"Sibil, daughter of Christmas Hewett and Susannah his wife was privately baptised August 19 1760 and received into the church Sept 14th."

According to the Registers, Christmas and Susannah married in 1756 and had a daughter Ann in 1758, and Susannah died in 1761.

Would this have caused some raised eyebrows, or was it accepted as un-noteworthy in the town?

I wish this was my family, so I could justify spending some time researching - but I probably will anyway, we seem to be related to half the town.
