Hi All
I have just joined this list after finally tracing my GGGGrandfather's birth back to
Warwickshire. This is what I have on him to date. If anyone recognises anything I would be
pleased to hear from them.
Thomas CAPNERHURST b.1798 in Nuneaton, Warwickshire (Father Joseph, Mother Mary)
Married in 1818 in Hinckley, Leicestershire as CAPENER to Rosanett Gisbon.
Children from this marriage, Mary Ann CAPENER, Emiley CAPENER, Joseph, Thomas &
Matilda CAPENHURST/CAPENERHURST.
2nd marriage in 1836 in Leicester, as CAPERNHURST to Ann Marshall (Widow)
Children from this marriage, are all on the GRO as CAPENHURST, Frances, Francis, William,
Robert & Sophia.
Thomas died in Leicester in 1851 and was buried as a CAPENHURST.
On the 1841 census he is in Leicester Workhouse with his 2nd wife, but only his youngest
daughter from his 1st marriage is with them. I have been unable to find the other children
( Mary Ann, Emiley, Joseph & Thomas) on the 1841 census. Where were they?
Joseph resurfaces in 1850 at his marriage in Leicester to Mary Daykin. Thomas resurfaces
in 1852 at his marriage to Mary Hextall. Matilda married in Derby in 1856 to Joseph
Hague.
Any help that anyone can give me on this list would be gratefully received. I have a
fairly comprehensive list of descendants, but would dearly like to get back further and
also find his children on the 1841 census.
