Early Wildman and related families of the Lancashire-Yorkshire Border ~ with a focus on the 16th and 17th centuries. For modern images of the parish visit: http://www.tathamfells.me.uk/

• Gathering profiles to make connections, merge tree branches... New Project...
• See core document
• some pertinent records from this core document are reproduced here for ease of cross referencing within this project
• the individuals listed here excluded just about all "Non Conformists" such as Quakers on purpose. It seems that the parish records were recopied and when they were, the Quakers were excluded. The contemporary Quakers were close neighbors to these below. Some are listed in the host project under SETTLE MEETING
  

refers to crucial dates and people associated with the direct Quaker WIldman line that went to the Province of Pennsylvania in the 1680s

Tatham Parish records for the Church of England

• enter the ancestry dot com register here
• many entries hyper-linked to GENi peofiles
• Suggestion: If you do not find the Wildman you seek here, return to the Master Project and look under Settle Quakers. Many Wildmans who were initially baptized in the Church of England at Tatham later became Quaker. It is unclear if, or how many, of these who changed religion had their records expunged from copies of the parish register(s) when they were recopied back in that era.

Discussion

It may be tedious to see all the cross-referenced surnames above but it does indicate that the parish kept to itself when it came to finding partners in marriage during this era.
It was a relatively small gene pool.
> With, at first glance, roughly 10% of these families having members turning Quaker, the Church of England must have seen this as a financial threat to the upkeep of the parish rector of the Church of England.

Sources

The key to unravelling the family connections here are the records of the nearby Settle Monthly Meeting (1652-1775). In form, they are difficult to read, incomplete (by nature),poorly organized, and, at this date, only accessible via ancestry dot com. Yet once a researcher takes the time to tabulate birth-marriage-death records associated with a particular surname and compare these to other documents, such as the Hearth Tax records, some truths do drop out as a reward.
As this project is a sub-project to Early Wildman and related families of the Lancashire-Yorkshire Border, go to its resource list. It is not reproduced here.
