FREDERICK GROSVENOR.

We have already in our notice of the Grammar School (p. 98) given an
account of the Rev. Francis Grosvenor, son of an ironmonger in the town;
there was also another son, Frederick, educated under Dr. J. Bainbridge
Smith, at the school, who graduated at Oxford, and was ordained deacon in
1860, and priest in 1861. He held a curacy at Basford, Notts, 1860-62;
was travelling Chaplain to the Bishop of Brisbane, 1862-65; Curate of
Holy Trinity, Westminster, 1866-67; of St. Mary's, Hulme, Manchester,
1867-69; of St. Gabriel's, Canning Town, London, 1869-73; at Dudley,
1874-76; and at Hornsea, near Hull, 1876-85; when he, like his brother
Francis, retired to Epsom, and succeeded him as Chaplain to the Union
there, until his decease.

WILLIAM BARTON CAPARN.

Mr. John Caparn, Chemist, having a shop in the High Street (now occupied
by Mr. Herbert Carlton), had a son, William Barton Caparn, who graduated
at Brazenose College, Oxford, taking honours, in 1843. He was ordained
deacon in 1843, and priest in 1845, in the diocese of Ripon. He became
Vicar of East and West Torrington, near Wragby, in 1846, which he held
till 1859. He held the benefice, as Vicar, of Drayton, Somersetshire,
from 1866 to 1875. Having private means, he gave up that benefice, and
became Curate of Angersleigh, in the same county, 1877-79; which he then
gave up, and undertook the Chaplaincy of the Taunton Union, and local
hospital. These he resigned after a few years, and resided at Taunfield
House, Taunton, until his death, April 10th, 1892. He published various
minor works; the first being a small volume on _Epitaphs_, later
productions were _Meditations to be used in Church before Divine
Service_; _Councils and warnings before and after Confirmation_, &c.

George Gilliat, Esq., late of The Wharf, Horncastle, married, as his
first wife, Miss Caparn, a sister. Miss Helen Caparn, another sister,
married Mr. William Sharples, Surgeon, a partner of the late Mr. T.
Snaith, of Horncastle, and one of the first doctors at Woodhall Spa. Mr.
Sharples left Horncastle for Wisbech, being appointed by the trustees
first resident physician at the hospital founded in that town by Miss
Trafford Southwell. Losing an only daughter while there, the shock was
so great, that he resigned the post,
