My g,g,grandfather was Thomas William Robert Wilde, born about 1750, married Frances Dier/Dyer; they lived in Abbeyleix, Queens Co., where most of their children were born. According to my great aunt there were 19 children but thus far I have found only 13: Anne, Thomas (died in infancy), Sarah, Margaret, Frances, Jonathan, Robert, Thomas, William, Jane, Henry, Andrew and Edward (my g,grandfather). I have a great deal of information on several of these 'Wilde children' [g] especially those who emigrated to Ontario, Canada. There are descendants of this family currently living in North America (both Canada and the USA), New Zealand, Australia, and I believe some are still in Ireland although not living in Laois Co. There also may be some descendants living in England. Am willing to share information with anyone who thinks they are connected to this family of Abbeyleix.
