Would really appreciate help with SETH WILD, 1600s
« on: Thursday 25 August 16 15:55 BST (UK) »
Hello all,

First of all, despite hearing the name Seth before, it's the first instance in my family. I don't believe it's that common (especially in the time frame I'm looking at) so I think it might have been spelled many different ways - hence why it's been hard to trace.

I have a Sarah Wild, baptized 25 Sep 1664 in Rotherham, daughter of SETH WILD. I couldn't find any other children of Seth in the local area, but then found a death for Seth in Rotherham in June 1666.

The only marriage I could find for him in Yorkshire was at Ecclesfield to Mary Badger on 21st August 1652 - which would leave a space between 1652-1666 for other children. I should say that the name Seth on this marriage was 'Seith'.

I also couldn't find any possible baptisms for him in the area. There seems to be so little about him!

Help tracing Seth would be a massive help - I'd really appreciate it.
