There's a John Wakefield buried in Dublin at St Werburgh 7th June 1791, age 44. No other info (you can see the image)

Theres more info on ralph and mary,

The Herology site lists Ralph as living at 4 places as a 'watch maker and watch case maker', Frog lane in 1743, Paradise street 1746-7, Hey market 1750 and Dale street (the same as john wakefield) 1776.

It lists his family as
May Lee married Ralph Wakefield 23.05.1742
Diana born 11.02.1743 buried at St Nicholas Liverpool 1.1.1747.
Ann born 25.09.1774.
Robert buried 13.06.1746
Robert born 14.07.1750
Ralph died 22.09.1776.

With the same surname and occupation and the same address (Dale Street in 1776) do you think this is John Wakefields parent and siblings?

It seems to fit for me in my mind.

Thank you Blue70, Bevo and Emeltom!

I think the John Wakefield burial looks potentially very exciting

Does anyone know if there may be any records for travel to Dublin or was this even then a very regular thing that would go unrecorded?

It was like going from England to Wales, no records necessary. English people had been settling in Ireland for hundreds of years. They helped to develop the towns and cities. I tried to find Dublin Directories near to the date of death/burial online but couldn't find any. I think that would be something to pursue. He may be listed with his occupation on a Dublin directory or there may be relatives in Dublin that he was visiting or living with.
