Help Please - RAMPLING

[smudwhisk]

From Sudbury St Gregory registers:

9 Sept 1825 James Rampling baptised to James and Sarah of Walnut Tree Lane, cordwainer

12 Nov 1827 John Edward Rampling baptised to James and Sarah of St Gregory Street, cordwainer

The burials have been posted but the full details are:

31 May 1830 Sarah Rampling dau of James and Sarah of St Gregory Street, 7 yrs

5 July 1833 Sarah Rampling wife of James of St Gregory Street, 36 yrs

No other signs of this family in Sudbury.

There is a marriage in All Saints as follows:

?9 July 1793 John Ramplin and Sarah Hayward.

Don't know as yet what happened to them.  We've extracted a lot of information on Ramplin(g) from the Sudbury and surrounding parishes as some are linked to our Hitcham Ramplings.  When get a chance will see if we have any further info on this family.  I think its safe to say that they are one and the same because of the profession.  There is no sign of a James Rampling baptised in Sudbury around 1793 so I doubt he came from the parish unfortunately.  As there is no sign of any of them on the census apart from John, it would tend to suggest they could well be yours.

Did James remarry at all?

Thanks for all that Nicola. I don't know if James remarried, as I cant find him on any census as yet!

Hi,
just a quick note from Australia to let you know that James Rampling married Eliza Jane Williamson (of newry Ireland)
in Auckland NZ on 17 December 1850. Their first child was Susan Ann my G Grandmother b 11 November 1851 in Auckland d 14 May 1946 in Melbourne Victoria.  James parents were James b 22 September 1893 and Sarah b about 1897 and may be the Sarah died 1833 Sudbury.
Susan Rampling married John Porter and Mary Ann Porter married William Porter ( brothers) and lived in Halstead as farmers at least until 1860. Susans daughter Charlotte b 1841 died about 1857.
Not sure about original Sarah Rampling or a re- marriage as I have seen a photo of James (about to embark to NZ) with his father and a woman who may be his mother.
John Edward Rampling was always refered to as Edward and may be the GG Grandfather of Charlotte the actress. Red hair was rampant in the family.
All for now.

Hi Maurice!!

I live in Oz too!!

I was given some info a few years back which stated that James (b. 1825) was a convict who was sentenced to 15 yrs transportation to NZ??? Have never confirmed this though. Does this make sense to you?

Do you have any other information going back on the family, I am at a complete loss on it all!

Kind regards,
Sherrie

John Patrick b  May 1860 Newtown d 17 Feb 1861 Scarsdale.
Alfred b 1862 Carnigan Vic d 4 Oct 1927 Vic. Married Eleanor Sinclair 1880, b 1861 d 1950 Paynsville. She was possible Ballarat's first Postmistress.

Hi again Maurice

Yes Henry's branch does still live on. My maiden name is Rampling, I am descended from Henry Lloyd  (b 12th May 1856 in armidale, d 13th June 1938 in Barraba)  who married Louisa Palmer.

There are still a fair few of us around from Henry's branch here in NSW. I live in St Helens Park, about 45mins sw of Sydney.

I have compiled a fair bit on the NSW branch (Henry's line) but don't have much going back to England unfortunately.

Regards,
Sherrie

Hi,
I am the last of one Rampling line but I cannot connect to any of the other Rampling Trees
My g g gfather was a Richard Rampling,
In 1838 he was father to my g gfather John Rampling Chandler. born New Norfolk St Stepney to a Mary Chandler of Bridge St Southwark.
At the time he was a licensed victualler but I cannot find him anywhere.
If any friends from down under have come across a Richard Rampling I would be grateful for any info.

[suffolk*sue]

Is that from a birth certificate?
Did John go by the surname of Rampling or Chandler, have you found him in the census?
