Hello Ann

Apart from a marriage in Poole in the 1960's, nothing immediate is coming up for that name/ area- can you add any other details? Who was he related to, how does he belong in your tree. Was he born c1911?

The only ones on FreeBMD are for Joseph W.D. Wakenshaw, birth 1923 and marriage 1946.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Thankyou for replying, the surname is rare for this area , my mothers maiden name is wakenshaw and all the others in poole dorset are related to us but dont know where this joseph fits in the puzzle as alot of names relating to wakenshaw somewhat hidden skeletons in the closet are now coming out. Thanks for all your help do you have an age for joseph?.many thanks again Anne.

There are no Wakenshaws on the 1911 census in Dorset. Plenty up north, Durham & Northumberland.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I think Anne was just trying to see if the Joseph that married in Poole was connected to her family. So just in case this gets lost amongst the above:

Joseph Wilson Wakenshaw marriage in 1965 Poole

His widow is still living!

He was born in 1943 Durham, married 1965 Poole, and died 1991 Bristol.
