That came from a long almost fogotten memory of a conversation with my Grandfather Horace, Thomas's son.
It acually came back to me when I was visiting my mother who has many models made by Thomas's father while at sea, then it dawned on me that that would be the reason Thomas is on the Census returns as living with his Grandfather.

Thomas is a bit of a mystery, as he never appears on a census with his parents, always his grandfather:

1871
24 High St, Bolnhurst
Thomas Wildman head marr 56 ag lab b Ravensden
Ann Wildman wife 53 b Bolnhurst
Charles Wildman son unmarr 23 ag lab b Bolnhurst
Benjamin Wildman son unmarr 21 ag lab b Bolnhurst
John Wildman son unmarr 18 ag lab b Bolnhurst
Thomas Wildman grandson 3 b Bolnhurst

1881 see transcript on www.familysearch.org

1891
High St, Bolnhurst
Thomas Wildman head widower 77 ag lab b Ravensden
Thomas Wildman grandson 23 ag lab b Bolnhurst

There's a birth on http://freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl of a Thomas Wildman in Bedford registration district in Sept quarter 1867. If you order the certificate from the GRO this will give you his parents, as his baptism doesn't show on the IGI

Just a quick update, Thomas lives with his grandparents because his father ?? was in the Navy, where his mother is I've yet to establish. Must get those certificates ordered.

Hi Shirley, from the little I've managed to glean then that's the way my thought train is going.

Hi There, just found this thread. I think I may have some links with the Riseley/Ravensden Wildman's.
My Grandfather Horace Wildman was born in Radwell in 1899 to I believe a Thomas Wildman who was an agricultural labourer from Riseley or Bolnhurst.
My Uncle was researchin the family but sadly passed away before he was able to get back much further.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Mark
