Lord Truro was Thomas WILDE.

Born 1782, being the second son of Thomas WILDE, an attorney.

• He entered the Inner Temple and was called to the Bar in 1817.
• Retained for the defence of Queen Caroline in 1820, he distinguished himself by his cross-examination and laid the foundation of an extensive common law practice.
• He first entered parliament in the Whig interest as member for Newark (1831-32 and 1835-41), afterwards representing Worcester (1841-46).
• He was appointed solicitor-general in 1839, and became attorney-general in succession to Sir John (afterwards Baron) Campbell in 1841.
• In 1846 he was appointed chief justice of the common pleas, an office he held until 1850, when he became lord chancellor, and was created Baron Truro of Bowes, Middlesex. He held this latter office until the fall of the ministry in 1852.
• He died in London in November 1855.

His son Charles Wilde (1816-1891) succeeded as second baron, but on the death of his nephew, the 3rd baron, in 1899 the title became extinct.

Lord Truro was the uncle of James Plaisted Wilde, Baron Penzance (1816-99), who was appointed a baron of the court of exchequer in 1860, and was judge of the court of probate and divorce from 1863 to 1872.

In 1875 he was appointed dean of the court of arches, retiring in 1899. He was created a peer in 1869, but died without issue, and the title became extinct.

Lord Penzance was the son of Edward Archer Wilde, the younger brother of Thomas Wilde, Lord Truro.

The details on the IGI about Thomas Wilde, Lord Truro is that he was born 7 July 1782 in Warwick Sq, Newgate St, London, the son of Thomas WYLDE and Mary Anne KNIGHT.

Lord Truro married
firstly Mary WILEMAN on 18 Apr 1813
secondly Augusta Emma D'ESTE, the daughter of the Duke of Sussex, on 14 Aug 1845.
He died 11 Nov 1855 in Eaton Square, London.

> The details of his parents are
that Thomas WYLDE (note spelling) was born 1758 in Warwick Square and died 1821 in Sydney, NSW.
Their 3 sons were:

1. John A WYLDE (1781-1859). Died Cape Town, SA
2. Thomas WILDE (1782-1855)
3. Edward Archer WILDE (b 1784)

Now just need to connect Thomas (1758-1821) with The Commandery family. I suspect he is descended from Thomas WYLDE IV. This Thomas (according to Worcester City Museums) was the son of Robery WYLDE IV who, in 1695, inherited a small estate at Glazeley in Shropshire which was to become the family's main residence in his son Thomas WYLDE IV's lifetime. Thomas stood as MP for Worcester 1701-27, an expensive business which impoverished the family.

Probably one of the sons of this MP Thomas WYLDE IV became the father of Thomas WYLDE (1758-1821). Just need to close that gap and I have proved the connection between Glazeley and Lords Truro and Penzance. Then I have the harder task of finding out how the Cullwicks are related to these Wyldes.
