Harvey Wild, Waimate NZ Who were his parents?
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 07:00 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace the birth parents of Harvey Wild who was killed at Passchendale during WWI.  It lists his next of kin as Charlotte Wild of Waimate (Harveys Grandmother) New Zealand but can find no record of his mother or father.  I have a connection with Mary Wild/Vincent from Waimate who was Charlottes daughter and was wondering if Mary was Harveys mother?  Mary was the mother of my Grandmother Alice Vincent/Benbow/Hopkinson.  Many thanks kiwimacca 9 March 2023

Thank you all.  William and Charlotte Wild were Harveys Grandparents.  There is no information about his mother or father. Kiwimacca

there is a tree on ancestry that states Jane is the sister of Mary child of George and Charlotte and mother of Harvey ,
Grandfather Williams death notice states he had six daughters and four sons plus an adopted son,

1888/5757   Wild   Harvey   Jane   NR.   drilling down gives a date of birth of 23rd August.

I think Radcliff is correct.
