  • Frank William Capper, where did you go. ?
    I have been searching years for you.
    We know you were in Australia and possibly New Zealand.
    I never knew you (my Grand-father) and you left my dad when he was 7yrs old.
    You left England leaving behind your wife and 2 children.
    I would love to know of your death

  • Where did you go? After leaving the UK the family ( my grandmother, father(Kenneth) and aunt (Joyce)) never saw you again and you left no traces as to your whereabouts. We've searched for you and never found out what happened to you. You clearly didn't want to be found. Still hoping that one day we'll trace you. Keith Capper (grandson).
