About Our CAPES Branch

 

My husband, John Monkman, is descended from a Henry Capes, his ggg grandfather.  Henry Capes was born in 1776 in Castleacre, Norfolk, England.  He married Ann Walker, and they had at least eight children.  Their 3rd child was Sarah Capes (1820-1876), who married Edward Bubbins.   Their daughter, Elizabeth Bubbins, came to Canada in 1908 alone with three small sons, one of whom was John’s grandfather, Herbert Gardner.  You will find our Capes family tree by clicking above.

 

Much thanks to Bev Weston and Jean Dunstan, for their contribution to the Capes research.  The photograph below (of Edward & Sarah Bubbins (nee Capes)) was provided by John & Susan Howland, of the United States.
