It took her six years, but she had three things going for her!
1. The Birth Date and sex of her child: i. e. Find a wealthy family that has a child of the same sex and birthday living with it.
2. The physical description of Charles himself. (Remember, she knows how to drawl, and could probably produce sketches from memory - someone would surely recognize it).
3. That he was very wealthy. (That kind of narrows down the search - Just how many wealthy families were there living in England at that time, one that could spare 500 pounds Stirling on fostering a child).
4. That whoever he was, his wife was incapacitated in such a way that she couldn't produce a child. Therefore, he had need to hire a surrogate. (Again, that further narrows down the search).

With all the above said parameters, a good inquiry agent should be able to dig something up, given time and patience, and money. She did say at the end of the movie, that she'd used all of her 'treasure' in tracking them down.

People gossipped a lot more back then so it was probably easy.
