Facts and Events
Ann Wild was baptised on 14th September 1745 at Ockbrook in Derbyshire, daughter of Ann Wild, formerly Buck, and her husband John Wild, a farmer. Ann was their third child, having two older sisters. When Ann was still very small the family left Ockbrook and moved nearly twenty miles east to Owthorpe in Nottinghamshire. Ann's mother died there in 1747, when Ann was only two years old. Ann's father married again the following year. His second wife was a Mary Capps, who thus became Ann's stepmother. Ann had seven younger half siblings from her father's second marriage, although two of them died young. Ann was married on 11th December 1769, aged 24, to a weaver named William Bonser. They married at Colston Bassett, immediately east of Owthorpe. He was a weaver and a widower with four surviving children from his first marriage. Ann and William went settled in Colston Bassett after their marriage, having a son named William in 1770 and a daughter called Ann in 1774, but she sadly young Ann died when she was only two years old. Back in Owthorpe Ann's father John died in 1770, leaving her £5 in his will. William died in 1777, aged 43. Ann survived him by less than a year, being buried at Colston Bassett on 11th June 1778. She was 32 years old. References
