Durham / Re: Ursula Dodds/William Wake

Hi, just come across your post about Ursula Dodds, where you say she was your Great Grandma, she is also mine! I was wondering which of Joseph Dodds Wake's children was you father?
Mine was Thomas Marshall Wake. I too have heard the Antigua tales, where the three kids sailed back to UK, got ship wrecked, with our Grandpa being the only one to make back to County Durham, the other two ending up in Canada. The Yorkshire connection I've heard about is also at Welbury, a pub called the Duke of Wellington, although it's now a cafe called the Monks Table, called there in 2010.
Kind Regards,
Michael Wake
