Thanks everyone. Plenty of food for thought. I think the next move is to find Malcolm's birth details/certificate to try and get his mum's first name.

I have a connection to the Capper family of Armagh. My gggrandfather's sister Jane McIvor married Joseph Capper in1906 in belfast. Census returns show that joseph was born in Armagh but no exact location. He was a grocer too. I think there is some connection to your Capper family.

Hello,

I am sorry but I seem to have missed the most recent messages.

Rosemary Joan I will follow that lead up thank-you. I just need some time to marshall all the evdience I have and work out my questions. Then I will contact the person you mention and let you know how I get on.

Liscoole, there may well be a connection. However, by 1906 the branch of Cappers I am interested in had moved to Liverpool. The head of this family was Malcolm Capper who was born in Lurgan in 1847 and who moved to Liverpool in the early 1870s. His father was Joseph Capper, a grocer  (I believe in Ireland) but he will be older than your Joseph Capper (unless your Joseph married very late in life) though he could easily be a relative. I don't know at this stage whether or not Malcom had any brothers. I expect so and your Joseph could be a brother or a nephew. If I find any more about this family I will let you know.

Best wishes
Brie

I am looking for a john capper born armagh around 1870, i have traced him in belfast on 1911 census being aged 40, but his death cert says he died 1917 aged 50. listed as rc and a widower so i would like his birth or marraige which i'm assuming was in co armagh. he had a son james born 1891 in armagh then another son john born c.1893 in belfast so he moved to belfast around this time. thanks

If this is the right one then the surname is spelt CAPPA.

Thanks TF13, found him now. It gives another problem. I can find three possible marriages but none are Roman Catholic.

9 Apr 1887 John CAPPA married MaryHutchison in Armagh Church of Ireland
25 Dec 1882 John CAPPER married Margaret Green in High St. Mrthodist Church Lurgan
29 Nov 1890 John CAPPER married Margaret McMinn in High St. Methodist Church Lurgan.
