I am new to this list, and wonder if there is someone who is
researching the name CAFFELL - I have come across so many
spelling variations: CABBELL, CABLE, CAFFLE, CASSELL,
COFFEE, COFFETH - and there must be a few more!!
My gt-gt-grandfather is James CAFFELL, an Umbrella Maker & Master,
born c1789, Beckington, which is near Frome, Somerset, England.
I have a marriage of Benjamin CAFFLE (Cart Maker of Frome) & Sarah
DAINTON (Beckington) on 23 March 1777, St John The Baptist, Frome;
they may be the parents of James, who lived in London from c1820.
There may be a Hugenot connection in the family.
Please reply direct.
