Schools admissions record for a Charles Wakefield in 1909 at St Thomas's Infant School, Dudley

Parent's name: William

Could it be him?


Gives his address as 12,George Street and states his father has left to go to Wales  ???

Post deleted, to save any confusion and my feeling an absolute idiot in looking for a Jane Wakefield, as recorded in post 16 by Mabel. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi John i think we need to wait until sss65 replies to his post ..Hoping he has details of the marriage of Charles Wakefield to see if there is any mention of father's name and occupation

Would agree with you on the census records you  posted  ;)

I think that's a mistake on the mothers maiden name on the Gro records for William Wakefield as for all the other family born its Rollason

Not quite sure why someone was looking for Jane Wakefield in 1871 - that's her married name.

The Rollasons (and variant spellings)  can be found in Church St, Dudley in 1871, 81 and 91. Jane's name seems to wander between Mary, Jane and Fanny

Is the suggestion that Jane and William are in some way related, given his mother appears to have been a Rollason

Thanks everyone for your replies..I need to sit down and look at all this information properly. I have very little information about them and it's really hard to get anything that does confirm Charles parents without sending for certificates which I am reluctant to do as I am not sure which Charles is which still. I think researching those ancestors who fall in the "living" history slot is the most difficult?
