John Wild, boatbuilder, Oxford, c.1790-1840
My great great grandfather Robert Wild was born in Oxford St Giles in 1826. His father John Wild married Ann Webb from Banbury in Oxford on April 16, 1810. I am trying to find where John was born and more about his history. Robert was a boatbuilder on the canals, as was his father. Several of his brothers were also boatbuilders. I would like to find out more about the life of a canal boatbuilder. Any help would be appreciated. My mother's maiden name was Freda Wild.
