Robert WILSE b about 1710 (General)

Ann WILSE b abt 1730 is in my family tree. She married George Marshall in 1756 in Awre. I understand her father to be Robert Wilse b about 1710? Does anyone have any more details on Robert WILSE and any evidence that he is her father? Many thanks.

Thanks for this, I find this site excellent. If Richard Wilse did have a son in 1723, then I probably have his date of birth wrong! Having looked up his son's record I think you may be right on the marriage being in 1720 but it's not that certain. However I can't find a baptism that would fit for him from around 1695 onwards.

There was a baptism in Goodrich of

Richard WILSE - 10 June 1688 - parents Anthony & Johan

You could also use the 'wild card' to go through the FOD records for a Richard baptised +/- 5/10 years Various surnames i.e. WEAL/WALLIN/WALLWYN/WYSHAM amongst other are all on the Parish Records.

After I replied to you I widened the date range and found the 1688 birth of Richard Wilse. It looks quite likely that it could be him, given that Goodrich is only just over the border into Herefordshire. It's still only an educated guess though!

Have you 'Searched Forum' for WILSE/WILCE as there are previous messages regarding this Surname?

I did the other day but wasn't certain of a connection. I may try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help. I realised that I had asked for help originally on Robert Wilse when I meant Richard! Sometimes this gets confusing.
