Delighted to see the Beds Boy again raising his head and better make the most of it as a certain World Cup is about to start & we'll all be fighting cat & dog!
Thanks for the alert JP & nice to see you're continuing the battle Shirle!
I have a copy of the marriage entry at Riseley of Susannah Fair(e)y to William Wildman alias Tyler.
I have been told that the surname can be interpreted as an early bastardy where the family did not want either name to be lost because of possible inheritance claims! Me, I know nothing, cos it seems everyone just claims domestic purposes benefits these days!
Now
William & Susannah (bap 1791 Riseley) married 13 October 1812 at Riseley and had
Esther 18 April 1813 bap Riseley Wildman or Tyler (!!)
George 22 June 1815 bap Riseley ***
Sarah bap 26 November 1815 Riseley (Wildman !) died 1 Jan 1822 or at least was buried then!
*** is attributed to parents William & Susannah on the BVRI but doesn't show on the LDS online site!
BUT in 1841 George is living next door to Esther (sister) and her husband Isaac Flavell who married in Blestoe 16 October 1832.
In 1841 William & Susannah had an 11 year old daughter (?) living with them in Riseley - I cannot find a baptism for her anywhere.
Susannah was buried 24 May and William 4 June 1848 at Riseley.
Mary disppears from the radar - so was she living with W & S in 1841 for some reason? Susannah was a midwife so maybe adopted her?
I'm convinced of a connection to JPs Mary and a connection to Bletsoe and surprised that W & S had so few children and also suspect that some of the other children baptised to a W & S may be theirs but in another village!
The Wyman/Whyment pops up all over the place as boarders with Fairey descendants or living next door over decades but I have seen it as a separate name from the Wildman clan!
Go on shoot holes in my Fairy tree!
Anyone got the BVRI mine has holes in it
