I am trying to find information about Thomas Rippon, his wife Elizabeth Hodgson (they were married in Brancepeth 1776), and their 3 eldest children William bap. May 1778, Thomas bap. 1781 & Jane bap. 1783. I am related to their next (and youngest?) child Robert Rippon bap. 1785.

Trish,
That's a very strong possibility, particularly as it appears that the first born daughter was Jane (after Jane Hodgson). I wonder if that means that I don't have all the children from the marriage, as I have no record of a John (after John Hodgson).

Although naming traditions are mostly followed there are exceptions and I have found that in my own Tree.
But yes there may be a John that has not been found.
I did find a Cuthbert Hodgson in the 1851 Census so that name may have been continued.
Have you seen the Tree that has Thomas RIPPON Christened 15 May 1739, Lancaster, Durham to ROBERT/ANN and dying 1803?
-
They have your Robert marrying Hannah WALTON.
Is this correct?
Now this is interesting as I found a possible Marriage on the IGI for Jane Rippon to Joseph WALTON 05 Nov 1801, Saint Nicholas, Durham, Durham
Could they have Married Siblings?
-
Trish,
I have not seen the family tree you refer to. How can I see it?
There is a good possibility that siblings could have married. I'll look at the IGI and census data for further evidence of this possibility. Robert Rippon definitely married Hannah Walton (although I don't have any certificates). The Walton name comes through the next generation of family with a Christopher Walton Rippon.

The death/burial of Thomas Rippon in 1803 might give some information but I can tell you it was not in Durham St. Nicholas.

Thanks everyone. I'll spend the next day or so getting my head around the information.

:) Hi I have only just found this site
I have been looking at my Rippons for 3 years or so. I know all about the Durham Market Place William and his daughter Elizabeth who married Mr Ferguson the Draper of Durtham. No issue and I know of the velum docs in Durham Archives. I have a VERY detailed tree - about 6 A4 pages including the Brancepeth lot.
I should be pleased to let you have a copy if you can tell me how to send by post (I can't get all the lines in on the computer so draw them) We have researched all the papers that are available for this SATLEY line. We also have trees of the MP Rippon who had illegitimate children who lived at Stanhope.
There is a VERY old gent (must be in his 90's) who lives in Satley and married a Rippon. He worked on a farm up there. He knows a lot.
Hope I make contact to help you. I can fill in quite a lot.
Regards John Rippon in North Wales.

John,
Great to see that you have found this site. Over the years I have made some amazing contacts and received invaluable help with my research.
Once you have done enough posts (I think it is 3, its when the green scroll turns bright green), we can communicate privately by email. I can fill in quite a bit for the Stanhope side of Rippon who ended up in Australia. Rippon is a family name that has carried on throughout the generations of my family since arriving here in the mid 1850s. It was my uncles middle name and he was known as Rip.
Keep in touch, looking forward to our private discussions.

I'll look out for bright green. This is no4 !
You say when we arrived her in xxx. Where did you come from ?
Someone from Stanhope went to S Africa and they have a winery and a travel lodge there. One of the family was murdered about three years ago.
