Mary WILD
Set As Default Person -
Name Mary WILD Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1773 Market Drayton, Shropshire, England
- From age on death certificate, assuming I have the correct Mary.
Marriage licence allegation shows she was a minor at the time of her marriage.Name of father from marriage licence allegation.
Birthplace from 1861 census, shown as 'N K' (not known) in the 1851 census.
Baptised 12 Feb 1773 St. Mary’s Church, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 19 Mar 2018)
"12 Bap Mary dr of Wm Wild of Sutton" - under heading 'February'
Gender Female Residence From 1841 Wistanswick, Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England
- Mary, with rounded down age shown as 65 was living in Wistanswick, Stoke upon Tern in 1841, a widow. It's clear it was this one rather than the widow of her late husband John's brother Edward, as she was living as a separate household but in the same house as '55' yr old Joseph Wild and his family, the age of Joseph indicating he was her brother. With her was a 4 mth old Margaretta Morris - a grandchild or was she simply the nurse? She did have a niece Lucy, daughter of her brother Benjamin who had married a Morris (John Nelson) but as Lucy had a daughter Sarah Ann whose birth was registered in the 3rd quarter of 1841 it seems impossible she could also have had a daughter born about Jan 1841.
Died Dec Q 1861 Market Drayton Reg Dist, Shropshire Cheshire or Staffordshire, England
- GRO ref: Gotham, Mary q4 1861 Mt. Drayton RD 6a 472; GRO online index shows age as 88.
Without the age the death could be one of several Marys; the age doesn't exactly match any known dobs (suggesting born about 1773) but this is the only Mary who could have been born about 1773.
