Not sure if it's any help but there's a Thomas Wilden aged 44 on the 1881 Census who's a blacksmith. He's in Suffolk. I checked all the Thomas's born before 1845, just the one blacksmith and no bookeepers. Perhaps someone could check on 1871 and find this Thomas to see if he could be the right one?

Nell, Thanks for your reply, its always nice you are around, you often see things from different perspectives. I did wonder that myself but thought a big jump from bookeeper on birth cert to Blacksmith on marriage cert? I am checking these Wildings out but I am not totally convinced they are mine at all. I don't feel they are (sounds silly I know). I was so disappointed when the birth cert came yesterday that I put it back in the envelope totally fed up with this side of the family. Thanks again Nell Pat x

Thomas might have changed his job. I have male relatives with different job titles on their marriage, children's marriage and death certs. nell

I don't know what to do now, I am going around in circles. My great grandmother's father Frederick Wilding, stated on his marriage cert his father is Thomas Wilding Blacksmith, I have searched for Frederick's birth cert thought I found the right one born 1842 father Thomas, sent away for the cert but it cannot be him this Thomas is a bookeeper. Now I am stuck cannot find any Frederick Wilding's born between 1840's-1860's who could fit the bill. Not just that but Frederick & his wife Louisa seem to totally disappear after they married in 1882 in Chester, I cannot find them on any census, also cannot find deaths nothing. I really need some inspiration anyone out there any ideas where I could go from here??? Any suggestions much appreciated. Pat x
