wildgust Wildgust is a surname whose origins can be found in the Parish Registers of a town (originally village) called Arnold which is situated in North East Nottinghamshire, England. The name derives from the surname Wildgoose, which, although can be found in many parts of Britain itself, appears to be more prevalent in certain areas of Derbyshire, England.

Several genaeologists have so far agreed that there were two families responsible for the name change. They are: George Wildgoose (no.3) (1749-1832). George was a son of another George Wildgoose (no.2), who in turn was the son of another George Wildgoose (no.1). George no.1 lived in Hucknall (Torkard) Notts.(The record of his birth and death have yet to be confirmed).He married Mary Machen of Blidworth. Notts on August 17th 1717. They had four children,one of which was George (1719-1800) (no.2).This George married Ann Smith of Arnold on 31st of July 1848. This couple produced six offspring, two of which were males. John Wildgoose (1757)grew up and continued to live in the Hucknall/Bulwell area of Notts, whereas George (1749) eventually moved to Arnold.
