David WILDING
(24 Nov 1804 - 8 Oct 1890)
David Wilding, was born 24th of November, 1804 in Longton, Lancashire, England, where the Wildings had lived for several hundred years. David was the son of Henry Wilding and Jennet Bamber. His mother, Alice Atkinson, was born April 8, 1810, at Billsbarrow, Lancashire, England, the daughter of George Atkinson and Elizabeth Charnock. David Wilding and Alice Atkinson were married October 23, 1828, in Preston, Lancashire, England. She was born April 8, 1810 in Bullsborough Lane England. She was the daughter of George Atkinson and Elizabeth Charnock.
David and Alice moved to Preston Lane, England where the family was converted to the church by Heber C. Kimball. Brother Kimball was one of the first Mormon missionaries sent out by the church. This was in 1836 or 1837.
When Heber C. Kimball led the Mormon elders to England to set up the British Mission, among the first converts to the Mormon faith was David Wilding. He joined the Church in 1838 and the following year, in 1839, David Wilding baptized his son, George, in the River Ribble near Preston. He and Thomas Richardson later confirmed George a member of the Church. According to the record of the life of Heber C. Kimball, David was one of the first to offer his time and money6 in the interest of the church, and he officiated in baptising at the Riber Ribble near the town of Preston.
The family sailed from England on the ship "Echo" on February 16, 1841. They landed in Nauvoo May 1, 1841. Soon afer arrival there, they became personally acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith.
One day the Prophet Joseph placed his hand on the head of David's son, George, and turned to David and made the statement that George would be a great blessing to his family. This was later proved to be correct as George was the only Wilding to remain in the church.
David Wilding was employed as a carpenter, and his son, George, was a stonemason. They both worked on the temple at Nauvoo. David came to Salt Lake in the early 1850's, a few years after his son, George, and his family came. David made his home on the corner of 1st North and 5th West. He lived there only a short time. They returned to Nauvoo where he joined the "Josephite Church."
David Wilding died on October 8, 1890 near Nauvoo, it is believed.
