WILDMAN/TYLER

[bedfordshire boy]

Burial of Sarah Tyler age 86 at Southill on 24 Jan 1837

also Samuel Tyler age 85 buried 4 July 1829.

So she found him again after 45 years+ ! The overseers seemed to have known where he was if Sarah was removed to Southill

My goooooodness that's a story!  I feel a romantic novel coming on!)
So what do we surmise from this?

Sarah Unknown born +/ 1751  "marries" Samuel Wildman Tyler born circa 1744. They had children ??

About 1782 Samuel disappears and she remarries (??)  twice.

They are reunited when the kindly Overseers send to her to Southill in 1827 & then she wears the poor old B**** out! Samuel dies 2 years later in 1829 and Sarah 8 years later!

Must have been  his father/uncle who had a fling with Ann Leonard in 1749 surely??

There's a Samuel Wildman who married Sarah Virgin in 1853 Flitton with Silsoe whose father was William.

It's possible  "my" William was the son of William & Anne of Maulden and had a brother Matthew.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall of their Southill abode!

It seems as though:

10 Oct 1798 Sarah Wileman m William Sharp at Gt Barford

William may have been the one who was buried at neighbouring Renhold on 7 Sept 1801.

22 July 1804 Sarah Sharp m John Davis at Wilden

John Davis age 76 buried 18 July 1825 at Wilden.

I suppose that after 7 years absence Sarah was free to remarry. Odd though that Southill is only 6 miles from Gt Barford, and it didn't seem take long for Wilden overseers to find Samuel.

Could she have been Sarah Anderson who married Sam Tyler at Bromham on 3 July 1775? Can't see any children other than a possible Samuel who was christened at Henlow age 27 on 15 April 1804 - but in 1851 he gives his birthplace as Henlow (which is next door to Southill)

Out of the four parishes mentioned I've lived in three of them (born in one, moved to Bromham where JohnP and I were mates, then got married - not to JP- and lived in the third), and my grandmother came from the other, Southill. Thought you might be able to build that into the romantic novel!

Are Samuel and Sarah in the least bit relevant to this thread or are we on an interesting wild goose chase?

OK John, that's definitely the last amendment! 12.58 UK time

Is absence supposed to be spelt abstinence??
About to turn into a pumpkin so will ponder this tomorrow!

I shall seriously consider writing you/rellies into the novel as the scandalised neighbours!

You all lost me ages ago.  I will wait for John's information & see if he comes up with anything.  I have been in touch with my father's cousin to see if he can recall anything to do with the name Tyler as he still remembers Bela and Hannah as a child.  Am waiting a reply from him.

I just let David & Marlene ramble on - now Shirley back to your quest

Have you seen this ?  ... I just googled it out of cyberspace

It's from someone researching Rollinson  ---  gathered no moss then !

RAMBLE indeed! Who set this hare running with an A2A extract?

This board has been so quiet recently it's nice to find something to get one's teeth into

Just played White Rabbit - thanks for the prompt!

(1)  Thomas Wildman was baptised at Radwell Methodist church on the Bedford circuit on 20 Sept 1818, born 24 June 1818, parents James & Catherine Wildman of Radwell, Felmersham.  Sorry no alias Tyler mentioned.

(2) John Smith married Martha BELL, both of this parish, on 1st March 1824 at Blertsoe. Witnesses John Bell & John Leete, junior. The rector was John Leete. The junior Leete appears at a few marriages where his 'senior' presided.   

So what's the link between Martha & Catherine BELL ?

Marlene,

The Bolnhurst Overseers account had no other names/details attached to William & Mary Fairey who were expelled to Godmanchester.
