Rather unusual name..wondering if it registers with anyone here Marriott Wilde (also spelled Mariot, Merriott) believed born c.1816 in Oldham, Lancashire. Married Sarah Ann Jackson, Dec 1837. Sarah Ann appears to already have 2 children at the time of the marriage (John Jackson and Thomas Jackson) Marriott and Sarah Ann have 3 further children - Ann (c1838), Marriott (c.1840) and Sarah (c.1847). The whole family is listed in the 1851 census, however I can only find a record of John Jackson after that date - it is possible that the others emigrated? Any information would be gratefully received Julian

Hello Julian I've nothing terribly exciting to add... just that Marriot Wilde (junior) is listed as 11m on the 1851 census, meaning he would have been born around 1850. If you don't already have the image, I can send it to you off-list. From Ancestry there's this death:- Name: WILD, Marriott Record Type: Deaths Quarter: March Year: 1850 District: Halifax County: West Riding of Yorkshire West Yorkshire Volume: 22 Page: 123 and there;s a birth recorded in 1899, which may or may not be related to your family:- Wilde, Matthew Marriott 1899 September Births Chesterfield Derbyshire Have you also seen the other Marriot WILD on the 1851 Census, living in Oldham - aged 6, son of Edward & Harriet Wild? Like you say, it's such an unusual first name that you would expect to be able to trace it more easily - but such a varety of spellings, well, Good Luck! Hope someone else can come up with some more concrete answers for you.
