Hi
Would someone help me find a birth certificate for my great grandfather Henry Wildman. He was born c1860 in Evesham Worcestershire, according to the 1901 census. One of the other census has him as being born in Gloucestershire but I have since ruled that out.
I don't have parents names. The only information I have is he married in Wolverhampton in 1882 to Margaret Yates. I have applied for his marriage certificate it should be here next week.
Any information would be much appreciated.
Regards

I've searched for Henry's birth/bapt. sadly no luck.
I know that in the 1891+1901 census he states that he was
born Evesham Worcs, but as you probably know, info from
census is not to be taken as gospel.
Have you found him in 1881?
You may already have this info re.his possible future wife
Margaret,but if not...

Hi
Thank you for replying. Yes I did know that Margaret Yates was my great grandmother, and Sarah A was born before Henry and Margaret married. I have been having trouble finding birth certificate for him. I really thought that he came from Louth in Lincolnshire but when I checked back to when I started family history I found him first in Gloucestershire, then in Worcestershire so sadly I'm none the wiser. My grandmother Margaret Wildman was born in Darlaston Staffordshire so he must have moved there at some stage.
I will keep looking hopefully he will turn up at some stage. I will look up the 1881 census and see if I can find him.
Again thank you for replying.

Hi Jacquelineve
Thank you for the information. I did have a look at the census for 1891, that one is correct. I looked at the Derbyshire one but I don't think thats the family. I have just logged on the computer so I haven't had a chance to look up a birth in Leicestershire for Henry Wildman. I looked at a map and Leicestershire borders Lincolnshire that's where I thought the family came from maybe the scribe for the census made a mistake and it was Lincolnshire.
I have sent for Henry's marriage certificate so that will tell me his father's name. It should arrive from the UK early this week.
Thank you for looking for information for me. I do appreciate it.

Hi
Search completed!
A big thank you to everyone who gave me tips and the information I needed. I found that my great grandfather Henry was born in Measham in Derbyshire not Worcestershire or Gloucestershire as some of the census suggested.
I can now look for another generation of 'Wildman'.
Again thank you all.
