My early research seems to show this is attestable as an eye-dialect of "would have", but not "person who would". Mglovesfun (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

The verb sense is clearly attestable, so I've added it and converted the rfv to an rfv-sense.​—msh210℠ (talk) 17:30, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

google books:+"woulders" shows quite a few works quoting various forms of (the) wishers and woulders are|were never good householders, a proverb. I suppose various people's use of a proverb count as independent (otherwise how could we have any proverb entries?) even though they're eventually all quoting someone, albeit unwittingly. Are those uses?​—msh210℠ (talk) 17:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Cited (not even using the proverb that msh210 mentions). It certainly likes to be coordinated with "wisher", but it doesn't have to be. —Ruakh_TALK 16:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
