I have lots of info but way to much to type out here. My tree is uploaded to Genes Reunited, do you have access to that site?  Otherwise if you ask specific questions I'll do my best to give you what I know. I dont know why Sarah was in prison but visiting the areas record office may have the jail's records/assizes records.

Hi Whitstable
Tried the site myself from the page, and worked alright, opened the site so i could take a look, and opened the update just to see if the site would let me do that, and it worked fine.
it maybe that the site says that the username that you tried to enter was unavailable, is that it is being used by a member, try another username, hope this helps, sorry about the delay in answering.

I also have strong Beaney and Ripley lines in my tree,

Hi All,

I think my Family maybe related to the Gypsies - Sarah Ann Blackman who married a Joseph Ripley and went to jail in 1861.  I believe one of her children may have been by another man - Samuel Muggeridge who was an artist?  The child is John William Ripley born 1860 and then married an Emma Holmes in 1883 in Gravesend.  Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bevali

This Ripley family has been quite extensively researched.I have quite a bit of info myself.Naomi married John Penfold,a showman,and theyre both buried in Faversham cemetary in same grave.
Their daughter Naomi Penfold married Joseph OBrien in Elham in 1903.Joseph was the nephew of Elizabeth OBrien and William Spain.His parents were Michael,known as The Baron of Barham,and Elvina(Elvy) nee Baker.

Why did Sarah Blackman go to prison?!   Regarding the Holmes, there are some Romany gypsy 'Holmes' in Kent and Sussex still in caravans.
