There have been many people who have helped me with this family tree and as the years have gone on more have been added to the list so I felt it was time to give them their own page. If I have missed anybody from this list I do apologise.

The late Mr Richard Wild, my great uncle Dick, who I believe started the first Wild tree and which my sister used as a school project many years ago. He laid the foundations.

My mum, Muriel Wild. She, without the aid of the internet managed to add to it. She also inherited all the documents from uncle Dick and then passed them on to me.

Mr Malcolm Heyward. Malcolm is a descendant of my great grandaunt Ellen Wild. He has done much research into the family and the local history of the area where the Wild family originates from. He has been extremely generous in passing on a lot of this information along with copies of old family photographs.

Mr William Wild. My 4th cousin twice removed. William has passed on vast amounts of information on many branches of the family. He is also responsible for researching the information which has taken the line back to its earliest known date of 1589.

Liz Velluet of the Richmond Local History Society. I contacted the society on the off chance of a snippet of information about a chapel which my 4th great granduncle had built and received more detail than ever I could have expected. As I did from...

Agnes Burton. Ms. Burton is a member of Ringstead Baptist Church in Northamptonshire. I emailed the church just to see if there had been any family connections and received in reply copies of entries in chapel records, parish records, local civil registers and newspaper articles. All these were indexed along with her research notes. Above and beyond what I had asked or what!

Mrs Betty Mayhew of Leicester works at The Pilgrims Home in Evington where the second wife of my great great grandfather spent her last years. She very kindly looked for any records of her residence there and also sent me information concerning The Independent Holiness Movement to which she belonged and which my G G Grandfather had been prominent in the founding of.

Mrs Donna Hitchcock of Idaho, USA. I initiated contact with Donna having found an ancestral file on FamilySearch.org which I believed was connected. I proved to be correct and many emails have now been exchanged with information and photographs.

Wayne Starnes, who also turned out to be Donna Hitchcock's 3rd cousin, shares a connection through the Reed family and lives in Illinois. He has an extensive tree on Ancestry and kindly allowed me access and permission to copy the details of common ancestors.

Robert Day. Lives in America and is related to the Day family who married into the Reed family. He too has a tree on Ancestry and has allowed me access and kindly sent me photographs.
