Hi Everone

I am trying to piece together some family history.
My great gandparents were called Edward & Annie Capes, they were Ice cream makers around 1925 in Hull, they had an ice cream shop and three carts that would go around the area selling, this was around the same time that the Penna family was in that area too. My grandad has said that the 'S' was put on the end of the surname when the couple came over from Italy. Annie Capes was also known to have been on a travelling stage with her sisters as a dancer before she had children with Edward (13 children in total).

Any further info would be very much appreciated.
