I'd be very interested in the information you have on Jonathan junior in America. Jonathan Wild is a bit of an interest of mine, as my surname is Wild and we originated in Wolverhampton - I've always harboured a hope for a connection!
I believe Jonathan (senior)'s parents were John Wild and Elizabeth. Their name appears in many different forms in the parish registers (Wild/Wilde/Wyld/Wile/Wiley/Wyly). I have the following children recorded for them:
- Thomas bapt. 8 Oct 1677 (he must have died young, as he's not mentioned again)
- John bapt. 27 Dec 1680 (m. Felicia Butler 15 Aug 1703; bur. 26 Jul 1721 - 3 kids. He worked as a grave digger as well)
- Mary bur. 11 Aug 1681
- Jonathan bapt. 6 May 1683 (married several different women, depending on which source you read. The only one I've been able to find unequivocal proof of is his last marriage, to Mary Dean (née Brown) on 11 Sep 1721 in St. Pancras. He died 24 May 1725)
- Mary bapt. 12 Nov 1684 (m. (I think) 5 Nov 1713, Abraham Dudley, making him a comb- or buckle-maker - there are so many Wilds in the Wolverhampton area though, it's hard to be sure)
- (Other daughter - poss. named Elizabeth, as an Elizabeth Wild m. Thomas Shepherd on 7 Oct 1714)
- Andrew bapt. 16 Jul 1690
- Frances bur. 4 Aug 1690
There's a burial for Elizabeth Wiley, wife of John, on 27 Aug 1715, and a burial of John Wild on 29 Nov 1733, which may be Jonathan's parents.
