Hi,

I am trying to find the exact parents of Annis Wild. On FreeBMD records there are 2 possibles but I can't fit them after 1861.

Her parents were Henry Wild and Elizabeth on 1861 census in Sheffield, but 2 trees on Ancestry have conflicting mothers for Annis. One is Elizabeth Robinson in 1844 and the other is Elizabeth Carnall in 1847.

The one on 1861 census has an occupation of Scissor Burnisher, the other I think is a Tailoress in a later census.

Nothing showing on this site for a marriage for either of them.

Annice Wild married James Gledhill in 1867.

Any help would be most welcome.

Many thanks,
Calmar

Not sure if this helps but on the 1851 census there is an Annis Wild living on Wellington Street in Sheffield with her parents Henry and Elizabeth. However there is also a daughter called Sarah aged 5 (b 1845/6) so if I was to have a guess the Elizabeth would be Robinson as this marriage took place before 1846 but odf course my guess could be wrong.

Hi John S,

I must be daft or something as I cannot find that 1851 census on Ancestry at all!!

I can only get the 1861 census and Sarah is not with them then.

I agree that it would be Robinson if Sarah is their daughter.

Can you give me ref for the 1851 census please.

Sue, I have sent you an Email. John

Thanks Sue for the 1851 census find for Wila!!! Got it OK now. I also spoke to Ancestry and have sent them an email to say that I couldn't find it. Obviously their transcribers are not as adept at 'thinking outside the box' as others!!
