Pulford Cappia, Ireland

[SingNic]

Trying to put some loose ends together and have a George Pulford who appears in the 1851 Norfolk census, not before or after.

the details of him, his wife and daughter are

   George Pulford    Visitor   Married   1823   Ag Lab   Berghpton, Norfolk, England   
   Elizabeth Pulford    Wife   Married   1824   Ag Lab   Cappia, Ireland   
   Ann Pulford    Granddaughter      1848   Ag Lab   Brooke, Norfolk, England

It took me a long time to work out that Cappia is in County Tyrone (or is it) as if you google it not a lot comes up.

My question is there any trace of this family in Ireland.

Thanks,
Nic

There is no townland in Ireland called 'Cappia' but several that start with 'Capp' and 3 Cappa (but not in Tyrone). If you go to www.thecore.com/seanruad and type in 'Capp' and select 'at beginning of field' a list comes up with parish, county, etc.
If George Pulford was born in Norfolk it is not Pulfords you need to trace in Ireland but his wife Elizabeth. First thing you need to do is find her maiden name but you will also need to know her religion and place she lived (county & parish if not townland). Once you have an area & religion you have to find what church records, if any, still exist for that area.

Thanks for that,

I have shared all I have, there seems to be no other trace of them in English census or BMD land the I can find (and I think I'm pretty inventive).

The reason I put Cappia in Tyrone is that one of the only other references I found to Cappia was another FH website giving it as a birth place.

There is a Cappia in Italy do you thing the enumerator could not tell the difference .

I'll need to be more inventive.

Could be Cappa, etc. in Ireland but you need to find Elizabeth's maiden name, etc. as I already said.
