(IGI) She died in 1816 shortly after giving birth to her one and only son William. John Capel went on to remarry twice - Susannah and Ann Bennett (sisters). My problem is that I can not trace where William went after his mother's death - not mentioned in Cumnor again. Can not find her baptism. The middle name of all the males thereafter were Watkins so I am thinking that maybe her parents took William? William shows up again on the 1851 census in St Pancras. Any help would be very appreciated.
