I am looking for information on the Capon family tree. Andrew John Capon, b 21/07/1961 in Grantham,Lincs. Mother was Margaret Rose Harrison, Father John Noel Capon. Both from grantham, Lincs. Most of the family I know were from Kent.

If Andrew is still living, you should remove his date of birth.

Are you related to these people? What information are you looking for please?

You can use these free sites - https://www.freebmd.org.uk and
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro (register but free to use)
to find births with mmn and then the marriages of the parents. You can check for siblings using the parents surnames too.

Use in conjunction with census - do you have access?) to take the family back

Even without census it's only taken a few minutes to probably take it back on the Capon side to an 1850 birth

You can then do the same with the Mother's families

Birth of John Noel

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Mar 1941 (>99%)

Capon John N Beck Grantham 7a 1224

and marriage of his parents
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1940 (>99%)

Beck Doreen O Capon Grantham 7a 1617
Capon John W P Beck Grantham 7a 1617

Now look for the birth of John W P Capon in a reasonable time frame to be marrying in 1940, then his birth etc (bed calls me I'm afraid right now) - You're now back in Kent.
