Hi! I have done a lot of research on the Hildreths in the north-east and put most of it in a 15 page paper which you are very welcome to have if you e-mail me. It has got stuff on the possible origin of the name, parishes where hildreths are found and so on.
Buckinghamshire and London seem to be the only other two areas where there were concentrations of the name--and from at least the 1600s. I would love to know what the link (if any) is!
How far back have you got?
Would love to get in touch
