Re: Mary Ann Rippett, born abt 1838 Manchester. Father - Thomas Rippett. dyer
1841 - Found Mary Ann Rippett, 3yrs old, born Lancashire living with Richd & Mary Gregory (both 25yrs born Lancashire) Stone Mason, at 5 Thompson Street, Manchester. No indication of who she is in relation to the Gregorys. No trace of the Gregorys after 1841 in Manchester, nor Mary Ann, but I'm still looking.
Could be illegitimate daughter of Thomas Rippett jun (1827-1848) or even his father Thomas snr.
Therefore bapt could be recorded under mother's maiden name (unknown and almost impossible to find) or may not have been baptised. Could also have been a catholic baptism. Checked every bapt record possible on Ancestry, FindMyPast, LancsOPC,
Thompson St is in Ancoats and is only a relatively short distance from Lee Street where all the Rippetts were living from 1841 to 1861.
There's a marriage for Mary Ann Rippett to John Henry Richardson on 19 Nov 1866 at Manchester Cathedral. Have you already found this?
Who did Margaret Lomas marry, and where?
