Hi Aulus
Thanks for replying to my post
Sorry I have,nt been in touch earlier but only just returned from hols.
With regards to the father of Henry Wild( who married Nancy Knowles ) we have pursued a line that suggests
that Henry was christened at Ogden Particular Baptist church Butterworth on 7th Aug 1821 and that his parents were James and Sally Wild.
Would like to hear your views on this
Unfortunately we have not been able to establish were Henry Wild is buried ( No record in Westhoughton or Wingates were they settled ).Could you help please?
We would be only to pleased to supply any info concerning our branch of the Wild(e) family Westhoughton.
Would be grateful if you could pass our interest on to anyone else researching the Wilds.
Many thanks

Hi Aulus
Been researching our family and just seen your posting of 18th April 2009.
We are the Westhoughton branch of the Wild's.
However we have an "e" on the end.
This was added by my great grandmother(Elizabeth Holt) who married David wild the son of Henry and Nancy.
It first appears on my grandfathers baptism in 1883 James Augustus Wilde.
Interestingly his generation are also the first to use the name Knowles as a "middle" name for boys christened David.
This is sometimes confusing as there are several David Knowles Wildes in the same generation.
Another name used as a "middle" name is Stainbank and this has also been handed down though mainly used by girls in the family.Dont know where this originates.
Contact with the Darwen side of the family seems to have faded out with my fathers generation real pity .
We too have hit the same problem as you in regards to Henry Wild's parents
Wondered if you've had any success since 2009.
