Found some Court records for Tacolneston for Elizabeth Rippingall of Norwich, who died 1744.

Norfolk / Re: Elizabeth Rippingall

So her grandmother Elizabeth Rippingall was from Norwich then, was she still in Norwich when she wrote out her will?

If she married in 1750, we can guess that she was likely born about 1720 to c1733-1734.

I did find an Elizabeth Rippingale born in Acle, Norfolk, baptised 25 April 1733 to John and Elizabeth.

In rural Oxfordshire on the census I found a ancestor sibling or cousin who was said to be sleeping in a barn on census night in the 1851 census, and was described as "tramp".

Possible, if you take into consideration pronunciation and how it might be heard.

There is a Henry Halstone who married Elizabeth Burcham 17 April 1699 at St George Colgate Norwich

Thanks, I shall look into that 1699 marriage.

The "Very few of our ancestors travelled more than 10 miles from their birthplace" has been totally shattered to smithereens by genealogy research.

I was once trawling through some PR's for a certain ancestor in Essex then by chance at the same parish I found a long awaited marriage record for another ancestor, and finally got the woman's maiden name, and the 2 witnesses.

Good that something is fixed. The other day when looking at the new Suffolk records at Suffolk marriages 1754-1837 I found the search engine had a post 1837 marriage as taking place in 1804, when it was 1844. And I found several other examples of civil reg era Suffolk marriages said to be 1800 or 1802 or something. If only we did have civil reg in 1800.  ;D

My dads parents, my paternal grandparents are not related, well if they are it is no later than the early 1700s. Both were born in Essex of Essex and some Suffolk and Oxfordshire ancestry. My grandad's great gran Sarah Brain was in Oxford in 1861 living just a street or 2 away from my gran's father James Edgington who was 9 in 1861. Sarah Brain moved to London via Spalding 1863/1864, then settled in Essex once she wed an Essex bargeman in 1866. And James Edgington's daughter (my paternal gran's mother) moved to Essex via London and Sussex.

TBH now I would rather do my own research than hire someone. Even then I still feel any part of my researched tree can be under review if I get more evidence, and/or if I did DNA and found an unexpected NPE somewhere.
