William Turner would definitely have known the sisters as he did live in the village for a while. In 1841 there were only 74 residents in 14 households, so everyone would have known what was going on.

Hello Val JJJ yes Charlotte Rippin was the sister and first wife of Abraham Bull. The Isaac John Bull does appear to have been Elizabeth and Abraham’s son, though he was baptised John Rippin.
The children that were registered were recorded under the surname Bull even though they were baptised as Rippins.
Thank you Eyesee and Softly Softly for the information about the marriage licence. I currently don’t have a Find my Past subscription so I may have to purchase a certificate to be able to verify if this is the correct couple. I think the clergy could have been the problem here for this couple, possibly refusing to recognise their marriage.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Holborn Marriages 1841

Hello
I'm currently compiling a survey of my parish church graveyard and researching the lives of the occupants of the graves. As a churchwarden I get a lot of enquiries from the descendants of those who lived in our village in the past and would like to be able to furnish them with more detailed information about they ancestors, FOC of course.
I currently have an interesting subject, a farmer named Abraham Bull, who married twice. So far not unusual but he married two sisters. At the time of his possible marriage, following the Marriage Act of 1835, it was illegal under both ecclesiastical and English Law to marry your deceased wife's sister. The younger sister's headstone states she was "the wife" of Abraham Bull. The parish register records her as Elizabeth Bull but when her five children were baptised in the parish church they were all recorded under the name of Rippin (her maiden name) with no mention of illegitimacy or the father.
I have located a reference to a marriage dated 1841 between and Elizabeth Rippin and an Abraham Bull which took place in Holborn in 1841. I have looked online for the Holborn registers but cannot locate them. Can I please ask if anyone can point me to any websites that have these records of marriage.
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

hello All
sorry I haven't replied to a few kind souls who have helped me but our internet has been out for best part of the week. Some idiots decided to steal cabling and caused enormous damage to our broadband network knocking out 2000 households! It's the second time in fifteen months.
Many thanks to all who have replied with suggestions, your help is greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Jayne

Thanks Radcliffe
I haven’t had chance to check the marriage out yet but I had a Quick Look this morning and I think you could be right.

Wow! I’m really impressed by the research skills in this group.
This family was proving to be a real brick wall for me but with the help of all of you I may now be able to get past it. Thank you.
The Stapleton/ White/ Irish line does seem to be the most promising.

Thanks all
There are a few good pointers here.
I was totally unaware of Durham Records Online so will check that out.
The witness to her marriage clue is a very good suggestion, especially as she is mentioned as a cousin to Alice in the newspapers.
The Irish surname needs checking out definitely.
I didn’t think she had remarried so I’ll explore that too.
It does seem odd that neither Alice nor her potential brother George were registered at birth. I’ve now had a look at that census entry, which does look like it could possibly be her but could not find a marriage for her parents but will do some more digging now I have another resource to use.
