Claimant or beneficiary

Biography

Awarded the compensation for the Belvidere estate in St Thomas-in-the-East Jamaica with Edward Jarman (q.v.) as trustees of Stella Frances Allen (q.v). The role must have been inherited, from his father, also Capel Cure (d. 1820), since it arose from the will of Stella Frances Allen's brother John Cope Freeman proven in 1788.

  1. JP and DL for Essex, of Blakehall in Bobbingworth when he became High Sheriff of Essex in 1830. Grandfather of the stockbroker Arthur Capel Cure (1857-1899), the founder of the eponymous firm. In 1841 Capel Cure was living at 2 Devonshire Place aged 41 'Ind' ['Esq.' erased] with wife Frederica aged 30 and six children aged 18 months to 9 years.

  2. Born at 37 Great George Street, Wesminster, 09/01/1797; educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford, matriculated 23/05/1817, age 19, BA 1821. Entered Lincoln's Inn 1819.
