Hello, I've not had enough time to track down all the guests of the Adelphi so I have no information on W.F.Wakeman. Can you tell me anything else about him, occupation etc!? Why would they have chosen Liverpool as a Honeymoon destination?
There are just far too many Co-incidences surrounding the Wilsons with their connections to Wilsontown, Price's Candles, the William Wilson ship, the new factory on the Wirral and the new Model Village nearby as well as the large number of Solictors / Attorneys in the family especially throughout Lancashire not forgetting of course all those Merchants from around the world with connections to Candle-making substances, later Soaps & Oils.
Some of the Wilsons adopted the Extra surname of Ffrance from the wealthy benefactor of that name who had no children of his own to pass his legacy onto.
I'm pursuing them to the nth degree because if my suspicions prove correct then my matrilineal name is NOT Cathcart, but WILSON.
Anything you know about your Mr.Wakeman will help rule him in or out, either way I would be grateful. cheers, Ian
