Mr Wildbore who died Sheffield July 1787

[mckha489]

This notice was published in the 14 July 1787 - Sheffield Register, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, & Nottinghamshire.


Can anyone see his burial so I can see what his forename was. I am blowed if I can see it.
Wildbore is sometimes Wildb*r.  Where * is any of the vowels, Wyldbore Wildboar,  etc

Although he died in Sheffield I am posting under Notts rather than Yorks as it says he was of Nottingham and I presume belongs to  the family middle column page 9 here.

Which says they were Independent/Congregationalists which might be why I cannot find the burial?

It says that Mr Wildbore was a silk dyer in the newspaper cutting. There was an Edmund Wildbore in 1717 who  bought a dye house in Lister Gate, Nottinghamshire. Also found a Cornelius Wildbore who was a Master Dyer, and attended the Presbyterian High Pavement Chapel.

I searched on Wildb*, Wileb* and Wilb* but there's no matching burial on my Notts FHS CD. Nor is there anything on the Sheffield Indexers site, although the latter is still a long way from completely transcribed so doesn't rule it out.

Thanks Paco, and Annie.

He also sounds as if he should have a will.......but doesn’t as fas I can tell.

 I am looking at them while casting around trying to find parents for Tobias Wildbore a Dyer in London.  B about 1729. (63 at what I think is his burial in 1792).

Name and occupation seems too good to be true, but it’s not helping me at all!

It might help trawling through what Nottinghamshire Archives have to give any other clues?
(there are quite a few mentions of Wildbore within documents).

I can see there is a Will for a Sarah Wildbore, spinster of Nottingham dated 5 June 1783
You can still download for free at the moment..... I can't see a burial for her either

There's a baptism for Tobiass Wildboare on Freereg:

4 Dec 1727
Nottingham Castle Gate Meeting
Father N_l

- however, there's a 1724 marriage between a Samuel Wildbore and Elizabeth Ives which might fit N_l given the transcription difficulty.

The 1787 burial is very frustrating though!

Thanks for the East Midlands History link; the article's really interesting and has given me some ideas for one of the Nottinghamshire families I'm looking at.

I always forget about Freereg. Don’t know why.
Thank you for that baptism. I’ll see if I can follow him along.

Yes, I was glad to find that magazine, it is an interesting article.



Added...the Tobias in London had children named Elizabeth and Samuel, also Tobias, George and John.  Another daughter Hannah, but that is after his wife.
So that seems hopeful.

I’ve read through the Wildbore  PCC wills between 1730 and 1790 that I can see.   Which reminded me again of the usefulness of reading wills.  I was easily able to make a Wildbore family group by reading them, but none of Tobias’s family feature.

Found the image for that 1727 baptism

It looks like Mr N.  I or L or even C. W’s son.

Notts burial index has 1 nov 1734. At St Nicholas

Wieldbor.   Nathaniel


So perhaps that baptism is Mr N[athanie]l

My Tobias does not have a son named Nathaniel  . Or not one I have found.)
