Capes Family

I have researched the Capes line back to Henry Capes, a labourer in Castle Acre, Norfolk, who was born ca. 1776 in Norfolk, England. As far as we have been able to ascertain, Henry was married twice: Murrell (aka Ann) Walker and Mary Fleet, born Green. Henry died before the 1851 so I do not know his place of birth; his father's name was also Henry.
