Yes, the Edward Capener mentioned in the Obituary was from my family line and not Gilbert's apparently.

An obituary for Edward CAPENER was printed in the Dean Forest Mercury 1917, exact date not known, which read "Private Edward Capener, also of the Gloucestershire Regiment, has died from wounds at one of the fronts. He was born at North Nibley 40 years ago, but had resided in Cinderford from the age of 12 till about 10 years ago working as a collier at Crump Meadow Colliery. He had since lived at Frampton. Volunteering for his country's service in May 1915...."

this is where it gets confusing - His Aunt Fanny's marriage certificate states her father to be Edward Capener who was a farmer. However his father's marriage certificate shows an Elias Capener. Gilbert says his father said his family's livelihood was farming and that there was a family who lived next door to them called Pick in North Nibley.

Is it on the marriage cert ?

Yes this is the Fanny Capener we are looking for. Is there any way we can find out who her father is?

thanks very much

Yes, his mother's maiden name was Violet Batts. So that is the correct one at last! Gilberts relations lived in teh forest of dean and he said that Fanny, his father's sister was born in the workhouse in Dursley. I will let Gilbert know that hsi father was born in Merthyr because he hardly knows anything about him. thank you very much.

A Gilbert Capener born 1930 does not know who his paternal granfather is. His father is either Elias or Edward capener (B1877. He seems to have 2 names for his father which is where a lot of the confusion is. He was told his aunt Fanny capener was his dad's sister - she was possibly born in dursley workhouse 1888. He thinks if he can find her, then he might be able to find out who his grandfather is.

A relative of mine, Gilbert Capener, is looking for his paternal granfather. He has the name of Fanny as his father's sister and Alice Louise as his father's mother. He doesnt have the name of his father's father. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Debbie
