Wylde family of the Commandery etc

[Scott Wilds]

I am seeking direct, male line Wyldes from the family descended from Simon Wylde, fl. 1524, whose descendants include the family that held the Commandary and other lines.  Simon Wylde was said to have been a great grandson of Jenkin Wylde of Denbighshire, and indeed the 3 Martlets coat of arms is the same as for that Welsh family in History of the Powys Fadog.

I am involved in a DNA study of Wilde/Wylde.  My own family was from Radnor and shows a distant kinship to the Nottingham Wylde family, which also used the 3 martlets coat of arms.   So I am eager to test Wylde men from the Worcester family to see if they also match.

My ancestor Samuel Wild, b. c. 1682, went to America and added the "s".

There is a Wyldes Lane in Worcester, just down the way from the Commandary.
My father in law discovered medieval paintings at the Commandary.

Hi Scott

If you look back on the WOR postings lists you will find that there has been quite a bit put on about the Wylde's of the Commandry & I put a link on to a web site if memory serves me correctly

Good hunting

Thanks for the replies.  If you run across a living Wylde male descended from these folks, please let me know, or put him in touch with me!!

If you look back on the WOR pages you will see that there is another person researching the Wydes of the Commandery & they may be able to help you with your research

Good hunting

All the very best

The main line of descent from Symon was based in Shropshire after the Commandery was sold near the end of the 18th century. The last of this line I have on record is Harold Wylde-Browne birth registered at Epping in the June quarter of 1897 - I think they may have subsequently stuck with just the Browne but anyone surnamed Wylde-Browne is unlikely to be of any other family. Another branch called themselves Fewtrell-Wylde. If all fails ask me for some more.
Happy hunting,
Dai

I'm a 14th generation from George Wylde son of Simon Wylde, Dodderhill. Through my mother's family. They settled in Braintree, MA 1688, then traveled to Gram County NC in 1813. There is a vase and large family in America, I don't have the current updated family tree book but there are 9 or more branches in the NC family. Fredrick Wilds and Fredrica Snyder ( Hackrathin) Plymouth Colony were married on the Brig Betsy 1813, of Cape Haderas, the Betsy was captured the following day by the HMS HighFlyer and later the HighFlyer was captured by the USS Pointiers. The Ships wheel of the Betsy still exist. but the brig was burned for running blockages and packing 8, 16 pounders. The Betsy was owend by Abraham Wilde, of Topsfield, and his son was the master, Jonathan. They escaped upon caputure. The Wilds were dropped off in Wilmington NC on the 13th day of May 1813. On the 14th the Betsy was burned. It was hauling Welch wool and clay tiles.

George Wylde, was Knighted (Order of the Golden Fleece) 1583, by Queen Elizabeth I and he was Sargent of Law. I have a copy of his Arms but would rather not display it in violation of the code and that it is rare and I would not want it exploited, but it is very rare and majestic Arms of Welch origin and Martlets, Chevron and Golden 5 pointed star at the top.
