Research Notes

Various Ancestry family trees suggest she died at Watford, Hertfordshire (presumably based on where she was buried) or St John at Hackney, Middlesex, but there appear to be no sources cited for this place.

Capell-58 and Capell-23 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, and same parents. Same date she died, and although there is a difference in birth date, she was born about 1674/1675 as aged 13 when she married in 1688, and aged 78 when died in 1752.
