MAY I ask if any readers have any information about a family named Wakeley, many of whom moved from Blackburn in the early 1900.
I am tracing my family tree and if anyone one would like the information I have gathered I would be willing share it. Perhaps some of the names I have may jog a few memories: Mary Wakeley married James Wilson, Richard & his wife Ann lived in Ada Street. Young Richard who fought in South Africa gaining a mention for gallantry in despatches married Mary Robinson and also lived in Blackburn.
I would be grateful for any help ROSEMARY KIMBERLEY (nee Wakeley), 24, Grange Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire. SY39DF. email:grangeroadgran@hotmail.com
