Guest ernie wild Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Everybody, My surname is wild, and most of my family came from the Wybourn, and prior to that, around St Vincents, Hollis Croft, and the Solly street area, with connections to the surnames of Mirfin, Struggles, and Collins, among others, do these ring any bells? cheers Ernie (jnr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he be a relative of yours ? its not far from Hollis Croft Regards Big Al Does your friend James have any evidence of the time his Father or Grandfather had The Ship, I'd be most interested; almost anything, Birth, Marriage, Death Certificates, License dates, pictures of him/them/the Pub; letters (interested in dating their time at the Pub not the contents of the letter !). My Grandfather and Great Grand Father lived on Dixon Street (Royal Lancers) but real, real close by. You may have noticed I'm quite interested (obsessed ??) by old Sheffield Pubs. I don't, as yet, know of any Wild's - but there are always gaps to be filled.

Heyup, Didn't expect a reply so soon. I'll be seeing James in the near future, so I'll be asking for some of the things you mentioned. I do know that James was born 10th April 1952 - so maybe Joseph Milner was his Grandfather on his mothers side ? Will be in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Strange though it may seem, we (SheffieldHistory) have a better understanding and knowledge of Pubs and Keepers in 1851 than we do of 1951 - mainly my fault, it's my emphasis and interest, I gave up researching Pubs with any real interest from about 1900. So although we have some modern places on the list we have no knowledge of dates or keepers - unless anyone cares to contribute ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 hello Ernest, This is the GRO index entry for the marriage of Ernest MIRFIN and Ada BARLOW: GRO Marriages JUN Qtr 1908 MIRFIN Ernest BARLOW Ada Sheffield 9c 1018 If you want to find out more about the previous generation you will need to buy a marriage certificate. You can do that online on this site, using the above reference, or at Sheffield Register Office in the Town Hall. These are the entries in the Birth index for the children including one daughter, Amelia, who died in infancy: GRO Births DEC Qtr 1908 MIRFIN Ernest Sheffield 9c 498 GRO Births DEC Qtr 1909 MIRFIN Henry Sheffield 9c 508 GRO Births DEC Qtr 1911 MIRFIN Ada (mother's maiden name: BARLOW) Sheffield 9c 1060 GRO Births SEP Qtr 1913 MIRFIN Amelia (mmn BARLOW) Sheffield 9c 1089 [GRO Deaths MAR Qtr 1914 MIRFIN Amelia 0 [that is, age less than 1] Sheffield 9c 610] GRO Births JUN Qtr 1915 MIRFIN Nellie (mmn BARLOW) Sheffield 9c 989 GRO Births JUN Qtr 1918 MIRFIN Lily (mmn BARLOW) Sheffield 9c 833 GRO Births JUN Qtr 1923 MIRFIN Joyce (mmn BARLOW) Sheffield 9c 874 Is the place where they lived Walden Road? This, I'm guessing would have been later, in the 30's. I don't think it had been built when the children were born. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest finmir Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks Hugh This has certainly wetted my appetite for finding out more about my parents family tree, didn't know about the child that died - i am going to obtain the marriage certificate and carry on with the investigation, again many thanks for your help...........

Terrie Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I know it has been awhile since anyone posted but remembered while researching my own family coming across WILD from an extract in Reminiscences of Old Sheffield. "In 1825, the constables were Thomas Smith, keeper of Scotland street Gaol; Thomas Flather and John Waterfall. The assistant constables were John Waterfall, jun., James Wild and William Bland. LEIGHTON: Wild, the constable, lived at one time in a house at the bottom of North Church street, opposite the old Queen street chapel school-room; and subsequently in Queen street, opposite the chapel. EVERARD: It is a little curious and very creditable that sons of both Wild and Waterfall became bank managers." Maybe this is one of your family Terrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am researching my family tree and have connections to these addresses. Joseph Wild was a saw handle maker and lived in Broomhall Street in the 1851 census. By 1861 he was listed at Whiteley Wood Works. I believe he was married to Elizabeth South and they were married at the Parish Church in Rotherham in 1839. Joseph's father was also named Joseph and he was a millwright, born in Rotherham. Joseph and Elizabeth had a son John who married Lydia Dearman, who had a son Herbert Edward Wild, he married Sarah Ann Scott and they had a son, Joseph; he was my husband's grandfather.

Hi Hells bells, sorry for the very very late reply (haven't been on here for ages because my mail address has changed so I didn't get notification of your response) The family you are describing sounds exactly the same as mine!!...I had to look at the post a few times as I thought I had written it!!! Joseph (your husbands grandfather) must have been my grandfather's brother. (my Grandfather died two weeks ago) Please post again, I would be able to show you all the research I have Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
