Born in Dent, Yorkshire (in modern-day Cumbria) to Edward Thomas Capstacke and Elizabeth Burton, Cicily was baptised on the 18th May 1673 likely at St Andrew’s Church in Dent. 

She went on to marry John Willan (1669 – 1735) on 6th May 1693 and with whom she had  George (1693 – 1743), Alice Agnes (b. 1695), Edmond (b. 1698 – 1743), Thomas (b. 1698), Jane (b. 1700), Margaret (1703 – 1781), Anthony (1704 – 1743), John (b. 1705) and Ann (1707 – 1746). It her youngest daughter Ann who connects Cicily to Cometanic ancestry. Cicily is recorded as having passed away at the age of fifty-six in Dent, Yorkshire.
