Death in Dublin
« on: Wednesday 10 October 18 08:17 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, with the help of Rootschat ive been researching some family in liverpool. One of ny relatives is mentioned on his daughters burial record as having died in Ireland; his details are as follows

John Wakefield a Watch Case Maker born around 1735 in Liverpool.
Another fine Rootschatter from a possible burial record in Dublin at St Werburgh's church on 7th June 1779.

Here is a link to the document
https://churchrecords.irishgenealology.ie/churchrecords/display-pdf.jsp?pdfName=d-326-4-1-094

I was just wondering if he may be listed on any directories or travel deocuments etc in Dublin so i can check if this is the same man?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, luke

also no sign of him that I've been able to locate in Dublin directories, online I've checked 1783 and 1800.

Thank you for your help Athacliath62, he may have only been on a visit to Dublin but thank you for all your time and effort (sorry for the typo at the start, I obviously was fully focused when I did it)
Thanks, Luke

The age at death of "John Wakefield" died 7th June 1791 is 44 years old, which would give his year of birth as 1747 and not 1735 as John Wakefield (Watch case Maker)
