Hi I have only just found this site
I have been looking at my Rippons for 3 years or so. I know all about the Durham Market Place William and his daughter Elizabeth who married Mr Ferguson the Draper of Durtham. No issue and I know of the velum docs in Durham Archives. I have a VERY detailed tree - about 6 A4 pages including the Brancepeth lot.
I should be pleased to let you have a copy if you can tell me how to send by post (I can't get all the lines in on the computer so draw them) We have researched all the papers that are available for this SATLEY line. We also have trees of the MP Rippon who had illegitimate children who lived at Stanhope.
There is a VERY old gent (must be in his 90's) who lives in Satley and married a Rippon. He worked on a farm up there. He knows a lot.
Hope I make contact to help you. I can fill in quite a lot.
Regards John Rippon in North Wales.
