Read advice on previous posts. This is a very old thread and Jacqueline never acknowledged any earlier posts, and is no longer a member of GR

Hi Jacqueline, my name is Dean Parry and the Wakefield’s from Mow Cop are from my mothers side. We have only just started tracing our past but probably have information of interest. We would love to hear from you to see if our paths cross and make a new family friend.
Please feel free to contact me and thank you.

Hello again Janet, you need to carefully read through a thread before posting - you'll see previous posters have also been advised about the age of the thread and how to make contact under the circumstances (as I've advised on the other old threads you've found this morning).

I am from a Wakefield line on my mothers paternal side, from Stoke-on-Trent. A couple of my mothers brothers lived on mow cop but this is going back 50 plus years. I have names and dates if anyone is interested.

Regards Janet

Hi Jacqueline;

I am trying to find my Wakefield family as I was born in 1945 and immediately adopted by another family. My mother (who was unmarried) was named Elsie Wakefield and I believe she was from either Liverpool or the Prescot areas.

The only record I can find gives a birth year of 1921 (I am waiting for a copy of the birth certificate). There is also a marriage in 1945 to a Thomas Henry Edwards in Liverpool.

As I was legally adopted, any records of my birth, parentage, etc are locked and I cannot get access to them, hence my searching this way. If there is a possibility that there is some connection I would be very grateful to hear from you.

Regards
