VIPONDS

[Ian in Canada]

I have read (unknown source) that the VIPONDs in Cumberland in the 1600s and 1700s were descendants of the VERTIPONTs who reached England with the Norman conquests in about 1066.
Does anyone have confirmation of this ?

There is also a story that an Alston area VIPOND killed in World War 1 was the last male if that line of VIPONDs.  Can someone confirm this ?   I believe that his name is on the War Memorial in Alston.

Cheers,    Ian in Canada.

Hi Mary,  Thanks for your message.  Several VIPONDs have been mentioned on other topics .  Do you know how and / or if they relate to each other ?  Also whether your VIPOND is related to the Mary VIPOND who married Samuel WHITE in Garrigill in 1699 ?
Incidentally I love your 'name'   'Weemary' 
Cheers, Ian

Hi Ian

I have just recently found out about the vipond connection. The best person to contact is a Michael Wardell I think it is. he has loads of info on the Vipnd family.  He doesn't have a lot on my line  sad to say

I will look for his web page and send you the link

DO you have access to ancestry -  there are a few  trees on there  who are researching the same line as you.

One member also has my line of Viponds on  his tree as well as yours.  So far   they have not replies to me emails.  I am unsure if there is a connection  as the 2 lines don't seem to take you to a common ancestor

Mary and Samuel had at least 1 son

Samuel White & Ann Holden

15 May 1731 married  Garrigill, Cumberland, , England

[weemary]

have sent you a PM with all the Viponds from one tree -  showing your line and my line

Hi Ian

found anohter member researching the same Vipond as myself and you.  So there must be a connection. WHY -  I purchased a death cert for one of my Robson family, and this person has a copy of the death cert on their tree.

Hi Ian, I have an A3 paper showing Vertiponts to Vipond its well worn I was given it by an Aunt who`s mother was a Vipond. I don`t know put it together but it was long before computers. It starts with William De Veteripont his two sons Ivo & Robert and states that the Gargill Viponds at some point came from these families.
