Wildon
« on: Wednesday 08 September 10 17:53 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on Elizabeth Wildon, possibly from Huttons Ambo, born 1750 to Thomas Wildon. She married Benjamin Carr in Appleton-le-street in 1777. The name Wildon became a middle name passed through two generations to my great grandfather Herbert Wildon Carr who was a Victorian philosopher. (his works are still in print!)

I would like to know more...

Familysearch.org shows an Elizabeth Wildon was christened 16 Sep 1750  Huttons Ambo, Yorkshire, England.
 
Benjamin Carr was born about 1755  of Appleton, Yorkshire, England. However, he married Elizabeth Wildon born about 1759  of Appleton,  Yorkshire, England . They were married on 30 Aug 1778.

Thanks Mc, there may be two Elizabeth Wildons I suppose.
Are you connected and do you have more info?

Hi......no, I am not connected in any way......I was just reading the forum and had Familysearch.org open at the same time so just had a quick look!

Have you tried googling the names and see if you get any further info?

yes, I've tried that and I think Wildon may be a village in the area, but that doesn't give much..
the practice of giving the mother's maiden name as a middle name is quite common, but i don't know how common it was for the name to pass through two or more generations.
