I thought I would post information for another Wakefield family that may be related to this branch of Wakefields-they are located in the same location-the location info being from a visit to Ireland and the Nebeker Family History site previously mentioned.
From the son of E. Wakefield born 1935-female-this family emigrated when the son I am corresponding with was 1 year old. His grandfather was Joseph Wakefield b 1881 d 1956 and he lived on one of the Wakefield farms in Urrachee before he moved to Tullamore around the age of 14. (The home from the johnflemingwakefield site was pointed out as where his grandfather lived)Joseph married Eleanor Lawrence 1901-1977. Joseph was the son of Joseph Wakefield 1824-1901 who married a neighbor Anne Walsh 1845-1919. Joseph was the son of Charles Wakefield 1781-1866 who married Margaret 1790-1880. Anne was the dau of thomas Walsh.
Based on the 1911 census, all list Church of Ireland-and this could be debatable but it is prob mandatory at this time, there were 4 Wakefield farms at the time in Urrachee, Parish: Clontuskert: Farm 1 Joseph b 1881 brothers and sisters farm (thomas, charles, Annie, Lizzie, and Jane)
Farm2 William b 1848 (unmarried) unknown relation
Farm3 John Wakefield's b 1873 family-I think John was a son of Thomas, below
Farm4 Thomas Wakefield b 1836 family-possible Uncle to Farm 1
In 1855 there are records for Wakefields and Walshs in Clontuskert parish
Charles and William Wakefield and thomas Walsh. It is believed that Charles Wakefield is the forebearer for the Joseph Wakefield family. Perhaps William is the brother of Charles? There is not a Walsh farm in the 1911 census but Anne Walsh was the dau of Thomas Walsh. Like most Wakefield families the info seems to end at the end of the 18th century-beginning of 19th century. I believe it is due to the lack of records.
Does any of this information look familiar to any Wakefields or Walsh's that may read this?
Thanks, fruitytooty
