Hi,
Is any one searching for Ribbans/Revans family ancestors in Norfolk.
Most of my ancestors come from Suffolk but, in pursuing other ancestors in Norfolk
I have found the odd one or two Ribbans's listed mainly in the Norwich parishes.
I haven't found any connection between the two but feel its more than just a coincidence.
If anyone has any info I would be very pleased if they could share it with me.

Walter,
If you go to;

you will find several entries for baptisms from 1563 - onwards for Rivanes/Ryvans/Ravens/Revence/Rivens
Ribens/Rubens/Robans and so on upto 1699.
