  Research Notes:

ID: I26 Name: Edwin WYLD Given Name: Edwin Surname: WYLD Sex: M Birth: 20 Mar 1864 in Calverton, Nottingham, England Death: 24 Dec 1902 in Radford, Nottingham, England Event: Local History 1840 Nottingham, England Note:
Up until the 1840's Hucknal and Bulwell were villages that would have resembled Calverton, relying heavily on hundreds of framework knitters working up to 70 hours a week. Bulwell was close enough to Nottingham to also be making lace thread and bobbin-net, and along the banks of the River Leen were bleachers and dyers who favoured its water because the low level of lime meant that less soap was required to wash the yarn.

Bulwell's geology also affected its prosperity as the magnesium limestone was excavated by the quarrymen who lived and worked each day at the sides of Quarry Road, later to be renamed Commercial Road. This stone was used in many buildings in the area, including the wall beside the railway line at Vernon Road in Basford, which was erected to prevent horses from being scared by the engines using the railwaiy line.

_OVER: [Notes] Event: Birth 1864 Note: Edwin was born at Burnor Close, Calverton. He was the sixth son to Nathaniel and Harriet and his name was originally registered as Edward. Christopher and Susan Wyld had a son Edwin in 1863, but he died after 2 years, in 1865. It is thought that Edward was renamed Edwin in memory of his cousin, or there was a mistake in the registration process.
