I have Wildman's too - twice!
The first lot were Edward and a wife Mary. IGI member entries suggest he was born in Thurleigh and christened on 1st May 1757, son of John Wildman or Tyler and Ann. The same entry says he married Mary Day on 22 Sep 1778, also in Thurleigh.
Edward and Mary begat (among others, I expect - I haven't yet looked!) John in 1781 who became a carpenter. An extracted entry shows him christened on 8 Jul 1781.
John also married a Mary in about 1803 - IGI member entries suggest Mary Smitton, allegedly of Bletsoe - and had several children in Thurleigh. These include (from 2 different IGI batches) Elizabeth 1805, 2 goes at an Edward in 1806 and 1809, Ann 1808, Mary 1813, Abigail 1815, Kezia 1819 and (wait for it) Kerenhappuch 1819. These last two COULD be twins as they run in the family.
John is in 1841 at Church End, Thurleigh, when he still has a couple of children at home - a daughter aged 20 listed as Haranhapatch, and a son John aged 15 who was also a carpenter. In 1851 he's still in Church End, on his own.
His daughter Mary 1813, married Thomas Simeon Hart, and THEIR son Thomas married Anne, one of my Ravensden Armstrong family in 1851.
The other family of Wildmans in my tree are a bit later - they marry into the Chandler family of Bedford in 1888 when Arthur Wildman, b about 1866 in Wilden, marries Emma Chandler. Emma is the niece of the Ann Armstrong mentioned above.
Arthur was born in Wilden in about 1866, and was probably the son of Edward Wildman and his wife Sarah Seer Laughton. Edward was born about 1841 in Ravensden.
Edward was the son of John Wildman born Ravensden in about 1813 according to the census returns, who married Hannah Whitamore in 1834 in Ravensden, according to an IGI member entry. His wife is probably correct as his mother in law Hannah Whitamore was living with them in 1851 in Ravensden, and an aged male Whitamore in 1841 in Ravensden.
Oddly enough, in 1841, John and Hannah are next door to John Armstrong and Eleanor Green - the Emma Chandler that Arthur Wildman married in 1888 was the granddaughter of John and Eleanor, whilst Arthur was the grandson of John and Hannah....small world!
I haven't yet been able to establish if my Wildman carpenters of Wilden and my Wildman carpenters of Ravensden are connected - though I would guess they are, because of (a) the occupation and (b) the closeness of Wilden and Ravensden.
