I have an entry for John Robert Bailey marrying Sarah Jane Ribbans 4Q 1871 at Ipswich. This fits very well with the baker you are researching. Sarah Jane was baptised Sep 17 1852 at St Matthews Ipswich. She would seem to be the daughter of Charles Ribbans, b. c 1821 at Gt Blakenham, listed successively as a shopkeeper, milkman and publican in Ipswich in various directories; he died in 1882. His wife was Sarah Rozier, b. c 1819 [62 in 1881 census], married c 1842 at Needham Mkt, and buried in Ipswich cemetery Jan 11 1899. Certainly among their children is an Edwin Charles Ribbans, born 1844 at Needham Mkt, a well-known ironmonger and tinsmith in Ipswich; private residence 36 Fore St. Edwin was married to another Bailey, Frances Rhodes Bailey, Sep 1864 at Ipswich. They had a number of children, one of whom is named Edwin Bailey Ribbans, born 1Q 1876 at Needham Mkt.
I hope this may be of interest to some of you. Keep up the correspondence if you find it useful.
Best wishes,
