Thread: Capewell from Staffs

Anne C · 28-08-2006, 10:22 AM

Hi all,
I am researching my family name who came from Milwich/Fradswell area of Staffs. Already have a fair load of info. Look forward to hearing from anyone with connections.
Thanks, Anne

Hi Anne
My husband John has connections with the Capewells from that area - in fact his middle name is Capewell named after his granny. I am trying to research this side of the family but cannot get very far back. Would be interested if this is the same family.

Hi,
What info do you have already? I have stuff going back to 1600s but it is not all my research so depending on where your info leads I may redirect you to another contact. My direct line is:
David born circa 1630 m Elizabeth
David born circa 1659 m
1. Catherine
2. Margaret Wetton 1683
3. Mary Hunt 1709 5th child was James b. 1723
James m Elizabeth Betts 1749 their children were:
Mary 1749
Elizabeth 1751
James 1754
John 1758
John m Hannah Houlford 2nd child William born 1786
William m.
1. Ann Bentley1810
2. Mary Fisher first child was
Henry 1813
Henry m Sarah Capewell 1838 their children were
Thomas 1838
George b 1841
Mary b 1843
Charles b 1847
Hannah b 1848
Sarah b 1850
William b. 1853
Hannah had illegitimate child William b 1873 who seems to have been brought up by Uncle William b 1853 (above). William b 1873 married Sarah Pritchard and had Samuel b 1905 who was my grandfather.
Look forward to hearing from you.
best wishes, Anne

Hi Anne
I have a feeling your family and ours may be different. My husband's grandmother was Alice May Capewell born about 1885 and she married a William Harper. I have found one Alice May Capewell on the 1891 and 1901 census born in Milwich, but with no clues to who her parents were, so can go no further back. She is a boarder on one census and a niece on the second. My husband says he can recall her mentioning that she lived at Fradswell and she died in 1962. This is all the info I have got, so don't know whether you can help.
Best Wishes Linda

Hi Linda,
Looks like we are not connected at this generation - although we may be further back. It would help you if you could order Alice's birth cert - you would then know who the parents were and may be able to trace back further. You could also try contacting two other researchers who have done a lot more than me -
philip.hunt2@ntlworld.com
capewell10@aol.com
Let me know if you find anything or if you have any more questions

Cheers, Anne

Hi Elizabeth,
Always great to hear from other researchers. Have you been in contact with anyone else? Both of the contacts I listed before have done loads of research and are where I have most of mine from. But do let me know if you need any help.
cheers, Anne

Hi,
I too am descended from the Fradswell Capewells, Line includes David Capewell c 1670-married to Elizabeth. Johns and Georges within the family. Ring any bells?

New to this, but have been in contact with others on genesreunited. Only looked at capewell line so far

Hi Heather,
My gx7 grandfather was David married to Elizabeth but he was born 1630. Your best bet is to try and get hold of Phil Hunt at philip.hunt2@ntlworld.com as he has done much more research than me. My line is one of the postings on this list - I think that you may descend through David b1630, David b1658 and his marriage to Catherine then David b1680 as I think that he married an Elizabeth.
hope this helps,
cheers, Anne
