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

Hello Mark;   & welcome to RootsChat

From FreeBMD a Thomas Wildman married a Caroline Martha Jones in Apr-June 1892 Bedford RD vol 36 page 629.

On 1891 census she's a Caroline M Jones is servant in Luton to a Cotton & Ribbon merchant, she's aged 20 & born Bolnhurst.  Noticed next door in Luton is a Kate H Jones age 25 born Bolnhurst similarly a servant.

I know David has identified his wife on 1901 to be just Martha, but could it be the same pair. If it is then get the marriage certificate which may name his father.

Grandfather Thomas Wildman was baptised at Ravensden on 22 Jan 1815, son of William & Sarah (per BVRI)

William Wildman married Sarah Houghton at Ravensden on 13 Sept 1808 (BVRI)

Pretty sure that Caroline Martha & Kate H Jones are sisters.

1881 census has Kate age 16 as servant in Luton, while Martha Jones age 9 is at home with parents Jesse & Hannah, plus another 6 children. 

1871 census  Kate age 5 is at home with parents George Jesse Jones & Hannah, plus other children.

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

Mark I can't help as I don't even live in the Uk and research that far back is impossible online, but John & David could probably find a link if there is one.
