Hello
Does anyone have any information on William Wilde who was born in Broseley Shropshire in 1798, I believe he was married to Elizabeth and had a son Edward. Any information would be appreciated.

If you consult the 1838 Tithe Map of Broseley you will see around a dozen houses with William Wilde listed as the landowner. There also appears to be two Williams listed as tenants.

Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat :)
I can see Edward aged 9, with his family in 1861,
RG9/1859 f.86 p.15 Broseley, Shropshire
Lloy? Head
WILD
William Head 63 Brickmaker
Elizabeth Wife 62
Arnold Son 38 Brick Burner
Naomi Daur 24 Housekeeper
Henry Son 11 Assistant at Brick Work
Edward Son 9 Scholar
James Son 1 All born Shrops Broseley
I think getting Edward's and maybe James's birth cert. would be a good idea, as in 1871 they are grandchildren of William,
Edward WILD Mar Q 1852 Madeley 6a 582
James WILDE Dec Q 1859 Madeley 6a 583
1871 RG10/2758 f.12 p.17 Broseley, Shropshire
Lloyd Head
WILDE
William Head mar?? 72 Brick & Tile Burner
Arnold Son Unm 50 Brick & Tile Burner
Thomas Son Wid 35 Brick & Tile Burner
Edward Grandson 18 Brick Yard Laborer
James Grandson 10 Labors at Brickworks All born Salop Broseley
Do you need the 1851 and 1841 census for William?
Regards
Daisy

Thanks very much Peter and Daisy for your help, William was my wife's 3 times Great Grandfather, in the past she has done quite a lot of research on her family tree at Shrewsbury Records Office but has lost interest over the last few years, I thought if I asked a question on here and received a few replies it might rekindle the flame and get her interested again, and perhaps get some information on how to research on the internet.
Best regards

If you use familysearch (just google it) and search using batch number C011553 you will find more Wilde's in Broseley than you can shake a stick at. It might take some time unravelling them to make sure you are on the right line.

There is still a family of Wildes in Broseley I went to school with them.
