There is a Capenhurst village near Chester ,England. Connected with the village are the
family "de Capenhurst" who seemed to have ended their line with 2 daughters
around 1700. I have found Capenhursts as far as Australia. My interest in the name comes
from a study of the village. There is a coat of arms associated with the de Capenhursts
which features 3 capons( chickens). The name was sometimes spelt Caponhurst.
