Wakefield - St George Bristol
- Bristol
My gtgt/gfather, JOHN WAKEFIELD was born abt 1812 in St George Bristol. In 1831 he was part of the 10,000 strong political riot of Bristol, and subsequently earned 7 years in Australia. UK and Aust penal records do not name his parents, but there are a family of Wakefields found in St George in the 1851, 1881, and 1891 census's. It is possible that John's mother was Charlotte 1773, with brothers William 1789, Henry 1808, Isaac 1809, George 1823. Those names appear on the St George census and are duplicated in John's sons in Australia. I would be glad to hear from anyone linking into that family, or able to assist.
regards, Len
