Wakefield - which Charles ?
« on: Thursday 29 October 20 19:38 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone,
I am after any help you can give me in narrowing down someone in a tree I am doing for a friend. He is Charles Wakefield BIRTH ABOUT 1905 • Dudley, Staffordshire DEATH JAN 1968 • Dudley, Staffordshire, England
married Phoebe Whitehouse in Dudley 1926 BIRTH 4 APR 1907 • England, Staffordshire, Rowley Regis
DEATH SEP 1977 • England, West Midlands, Dudley
I am really trying hard to find Charles's DOB and establish who his parents were?
I am also looking for his army records and trying to find out where he was for the 1939 register as he is not on it with his wife and their children living in Martley, Worcestershire, England
Occupation:   Unpaid Domestic Duties
Line Number:   17
Schedule Number:   332
Sub Schedule Number:   1
Enumeration District:   QKJS
Borough:   Martley
Registration District:   376.1.

I'd be really grateful in sorting this out as I can find lots of Wakefields in the area but can't clarify who is who?

There's a marriage in 1899 in Dudley of a William Wakefield - one of the brides is Jane Rollinson (one or two Ls)

Birth of Sarah, mmn Rollinson 1900  [added: died 1900]

Think I have found Jane in 1901 - RG13; 2747; 12; 15. Born and living in Dudley

married, aged 38, cousin of head of household Thomas Turner. There's a Rolinson relative in the household as well

Thought that one might have been a possibility ..did see a Charles and a Jane on the 1911 census with a sister of a Jane Rollinson ..but can't find it now

Service records after 1920 are still with the MOD and not available online

If he was already serving in the forces then he will not be on the 1939 register
