Frederick William Capron (1 October 1860 – 18 January 1942) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.
The son of Frederick Lucas Capron, he was born at Westminster in October 1860. He was educated at both Tonbridge School and Rugby School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] While studying at Cambridge, Capron made two appearances in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Hampshire at Lord's in 1881, and Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1882.[3] He scored 13 runs in these two matches, with a highest score of 11.[4] After graduating from Cambridge, Capron was admitted to practice as a solicitor in 1886.[2] In 1936, he successfully sued his brother, George and his sister-in-law, for libel following letters they had written to The Reverend Brian Hunt; Capron was awarded £1,000 in damages.[5] [6] Capron died at Kensington in January 1942.
