Hi William! Thanks for the reply. I would be glad to be of help - not sure if my facts are correct but i can tell you what I know. Its fascinating that you should be interested in this - so heres some info:  EWF joined the army in 1914 and served as an officer in the cavalry. He was also in the army in WW2, serving as an officer in the Royal Sussex Regiment who had headquarters at Preston Barracks in Brighton. He did indeed live in Golders Green after he married my grandmother in 1925 and produced my father in 1926. He returned to South America for a while but not sure for how long. They moved down to Ferrring sometime around 1931/32 ish. I cant be certain that all this is 100% accurate but it is as much as i know.  I want to be able to give you my e-mail address so you can contact me directly if you want. How do i do this? Regards, Susan

Hello there. My name is Susan Ripley - father was Ian Donald Ripley who's father was Edgar William Frederick Ripley who according to our history was born in Lima Peru, on 14th April 1890  and was raised in Santiago by two maiden aunts as mother had died (??) and father - well not sure. Our family were tea brokers. My aunt Gillian gave me this information as she had obtained it from her father (Edgar William Frederick Ripley). My grandmother was called Alice Maud Beavon. EWF's father was Edgar Hue Ripley who worked over in South America on the Panama Canal hence why EWF was born there. He was married to Julia Henrietta. This is one and the same family - so who are you??? Please reply as I am now intrigued that you are part of our family!! Susan.
