Hi Cicely

That information was brill,I take it that the two chilren mentioned are John Greaves children?

It has cleared up a lot of empty spaces on my database,not having a car now does restrict me qiute a lot,I gave up driving after a serious road accident.
Anyway many thanks

It's a pleasure!
Frederick & Mary Elizabeth were the children of John & Mirose. I've found the family in 1871 in Newcastle, where Frederick's full name is given as Frederick Sparkes Greaves (born in Penkhull), his sister Elizabeth was born in Newcastle & there's another child too: John Jarvis Greaves age 6 born in Newcastle. Myra/Mirose's niece, Elizabeth Timmis age 21, was also staying with the family (she was the daughter of Mirose's sister, Elizabeth).

Of the other grave inscriptions from Fradswell churchyard that Alf has collected, Elizabeth & James (as you have deduced) were Mirose's parents, Edmund John being their youngest child. And James & Sarah Capewell were her grandparents. There were a lot of Capewells in the Fradswell/Milwich area in the 19th Century - it can all get rather confusing!

Hi,
I too am related to the Fradswell/Milwich Capewells. Every where else in the country people say I have an unusual surname - but not in that area!!

My 'problem' is that my great grandfather was also illegitimate (oh the shame!). However his mother actually named the father on his birth cert - they both promptly disappeared off the face of the earth and my ggrandfather seems to have been brought up by his uncle.

He was William b1873 Milwich
Mother was Hannah b1848 Milwich
Father was Charles Moreton (I know no more).
I have Hannah in 1851, 61 and 71. I may have found her in 81, 91 and 1901 but she is a few years younger so I am not convinced.
I have not found a marriage or death for her.
I have not found Charles at all anywhere!

Any suggestions?
Thanks, Anne

Sorry to intrude as this really isn't quite the topic but has anyone heard of a Nanette Capewell? She was a friend of mine during the 1960s.

You never know!

Hi Peter.

I realise this is an old thread now. But as your ancestor is a relative of mine also I thought Id chip in.

My ancestors also came from Dogland's  Farm. Then later Dog croft farm?

My line from James & Elizabeth....
They had a son also called Thomas c1811. (Brother of Mirose)
Who had a son called James Yates Capewell c1837
Who had a son called Thomas c1870
Who had a daughter called Nellie c1903 (my grandmother)

Which I think makes you my cousin (3r)?? lol

I find theres a few unusual names in the Capewell family. Nellie had a brother called Carlos which I always thought was quite unusual. Theres a few very mediteranean sounding names dotted about the capewells in the 19th century. I wondered if it was due to the travelling back and forth to America to see relatives and the friends they must have encountered on the way.

Some of the Capewells did return back from the USA, such as my GG Gramps James Yates Capewell for instance. In fact he is listed in "The First Annual Genealogical and Heraldic Report on The Capewell Family", by Clarence L. Capewell, issued July 21, 1906" on page 46 as MISSING - John Yates Capewell It states he emigrated to America in 1856 with an uncle who was names Yates. Which explains his middle name, and his missing status on the 1861 census! But he returns to marry in 1867. He ended up in Cookshill, Caverswall (Staffs) which is the village I live in.

Due to an unfortunate accident I have no pictures of any of my ancestors. So I wondered if you had any pictures of your grandmother (my 3X great Aunt Mirose) Or any other Fradswell Capewells I could do a scan of?

Id be very greatful.

Kind regards.
