Hi Ian

I was always told that us Viponds came over with William the Conqueror by my father and the name was de vetriponte.

My Gr Uncle Harry James Vipond was killed in WW1 but he was not the last in that line as his brother John Joseph had 6 children. But JJ was the only one to have issue of that family.
They were:

John Joseph       b        1874
Thomas              b        1876
Octavious           b        1892
Harry James       b        1886
Frances              b         
May                    b
Isaac                  b        1889

Harry James I believe was on the war memorial for both Blanchland and Alston.  He lived in both parishes because his parents farmed in both areas, being Dryburn at Garrigill and Cowbyres farm Blanchland.

I have quite a bit of family history for this line of Vipond's if you are interested and am researching others but enough time is never available.  Hope this is of help and let me know if you want any other information.

Regards Marion
