Wakefield's
« on: Tuesday 16 May 06 01:50 BST (UK) »
I am looking for relatives of David Wakefield born about 1735 in Aughrim, Galway, Ireland. Married Mary Jane or Elizabeth Wade about 1757. His father was Robert Wakefield, Jr. He had 3 brothers Robert, Gilbert, Samuel. They were all involved in the plot to overthrow Catholic Rule. David escaped on a ship with his family and Samuel escaped to Scotland. Robert was beheaded and Gilbert imprisoned for life. If you have any information on David's father or grandfather I would appreciate it. I have lots of information from David down if anyone is interested

Hello simply4smiles,

What denomination were the Wakefield family?

You'll probably have to look at church records as the first Civil registrations in Ireland were non Catholic marriages introduced in 1845. Civil registration for all other marriages as well as births and deaths was not introduced in Ireland until 1864.

Simply4smiles,

I have just recently included David Wakefield into our family tree, and I would love to have any information that you have.  I only have what I have found on ancestry.com, census records and other family trees.

My Wakefield's were supposedly from Tuam, Ireland.  However, my ancestor and her father are listed in a book about the Wakefields and their birthplace is shown as Aughrim.  I'm wondering if this is correct.  I would be very interested in hearing about the Aughrim connection, please?  Thank you.
