Miss Frances Mary Capes

Gorman describes her as an author, although I can't discover what she wrote. Neither can I find her recorded in any other source. If she was indeed a daughter of Bertha Wyatt & Revd John Moore Capes, perhaps she contributed to her father's Catholic journal, The Rambler. Gorman records Bernard Capes as her brother, as well as wrongly recording him as son of Bertha Wyatt & Revd John Moore Capes. His true parents are Ann Ratliff & Frederick Capes (brother of John Moore Capes), who did have a daughter named Frances Mary (born circa 1853 in Brixton, London). Perhaps this is she & perhaps she wrote for her uncle's journal? A more likely possibility is that Gorman confused Frances with Florence Mary Capes (see her entry), author & daughter of Bertha Wyatt & Revd John Moore Capes.
