Hello, Yes lol thats exactly what my granny said, he was a bit of a lad. and that must be who julia married... and no Florence was adopted by someone else because she was an illegitamate child i think... not sure.

And he married elenor yeadon, yes but my great granny was born 1912 and he married elanor 1915 without his family or her family knowing, and then he died in the war and his family found out.

ask me some questions you may be looking for on the wakefields lol my granny knows all of them.

take care


hello,
                      this is how my tree goes and what i am looking for
edith wakefield married james burtonwood          her parents were
alfred wakefield married ann jane bretland           his parents were
john wakefield married mary cheers                     his parents were
thomas wakefield married julianna carwithin        his parents were
robert wakefield married sarah roberts                 his parents were
thomas wakefield married sarah?                         his parents were?
edward wakefield married isabella gibbons
i need to find a marriage certificate for thomas married to sarah to find out what her maiden name was and that edward and isabella were his parents
to confirm us to this line as i know that edward jerringham wakefield was charles cheers wakefields second cousin and i believe this is how we are connected? but back in those days every thing went to the first son and our thomas was a second son there is a lot of information about there first son edward married to priscilla wakefield but nothing about thomas ?
has granny heard of any of these names?a lso does granny have any pics of any of the wakefilds as i only have a pic of edith wakefield at the moment but ediths youngest son only died last year and having lived in the same house from when he was born i was hoping that he would have had alot of pics and certificates but he didn't :(

Nope Them names Arent Right, My Grandmother said That Florence Was married As Eustace, But She Was An Illegitamate Child Of Leonard, And No One Knew About her Being Illegitamate... And Leonard John Died At 27 In The War I Think, And His Family Probably Still Didnt Know, But I Do Know That Before He Went In The Army He Lied About Being Married, He Went Into The Army In 1917 And Was married 1915 To Elanor Muriel Yeadon, But In His Army Papers he Applied As A Batchelor



hello,
                     he was a bit of a lad then?so florence was adopted by a mr eustace did julia bayliss marry a daniel j g eustace in 1916?that is the only marriage i can find for a julia bayliss to a eustace?and  i think maybe leonard was already married to elanor yeadon when he met julia thats why he didn't marry her or have his name on certificate incase his wife and familly found out
but maybe not all was right with his marriage when he met julia and maybe later divorced her then he would have been single ?cc wakefield was lord mayor of london at this time also so no scandels.

                                                 speak to you soon

Hello, Oh Yer my granny said something about rebecca brewin, i never knew there was another child though only thought she had one child out there, so leonards father had another child called rebecca nellie wakefield then she died with the other child....

and yes leonard john wakefield was the son of esther sommers and thomas wakefield....

thomas and esther...
leonard john wakefield and julia bayliss (although his name wasnt on the birth certificate as it was all hidden from the parents....

florence bayliss and thomas davey (my grannys mum and dad)


 no rebbeca nellie lived and came back to england thats all i know about her at the min.
i had a look for leonard john wakefied and could only find 1 birth in leeds 1890
and 1 marriage to a elanor yeadon in derby 1915 but can't find any children for them but this might be right as i think what you are saying is that leonard and julia didn't marry?which i find strange ? and had look for florence bayliss and only found 1florence m bayliss born 1912 westham parent bayliss do you know if she was born there?
                                          speak to you soon

Hello, Yes My Granny Knows Esther Sommers Whos Mother Was Lilian Lea And Father Was Robert Sommers... And She Married Thomas Wakefield... And His Wife Who Went To Africa Sadly Died Giving Birth To His Child In Africa... My Great Granny (Florence Bayliss) Is Leonard John Wakefield's Daughter...

My Granny Said...

Leonard John wakefield Was First Cousins To CHarles Cheers Wakefield...

Charles Cheers Wakefield Being The Son Of John Wakefield, Brother To Thomas Wakefield (The Missionary)...

I Hope This Helps You :) & Hope You can Help Me Back With More Info


hello, thanks for the information you have given me.
i found out yesterday that he was married too rebecca brewin i thought i was on the right track for a couple of weeks now but needed to confirm this which i have now done . his first wife went with him to ribe (near mombasa)
were she had a daughter called rebbeca nellie wakefield and then they had another child who died so did his wife but i think it was from some sort of fever can let you know for definatley later, so his daughter was sent back to england and he followed much later thats when he met esther sussanah sommers and married and she went with him too ribe for 5 years. this is all mentioned in a book that i found on line called the memoirs of rebbeca wakefield written by her brother. there is also a biography of thomas wakefield and the author is e.s wakefield at the latter day saints on micro fiche but i do not live near a latter day saints so may never know what is said about him, he was a remarkable man i feel he served for 27 years in kenya and was known as bwana wakfili .
there is lots of information about him too much for me too write i could send you the links i have found so you can have a look if you like?

can i just confirm
leonard john wakefield was the son of esther sommers and thomas wakefield?

                        hope to hear from you soon
