During the 19th century, many Oakes families emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, seeking better opportunities and a new life. Today, the Oakes surname can be found in various countries, with a significant number of individuals still tracing their ancestry back to Ireland.
