There is a Joseph Greenwood born 1878 West derby ( Liverpool ) whose mmn is given as Cabstick but I think it is Capstick, there are a couple of Capstick? Greenwood marriages in the Sedbergh district which 'might' tie in. If Joseph was not actually the grandson of Thomas and Nancy , but connected to his first wife Margaret Capstick....??
