Elizabeth Rippingall

[PatLac]

Hi Pete,

As far as I can tell they were not related (his tree is on FS).

Maybe you could try finding more about Major John Rippingall who was a descendant of Henry Rippingall, attorney of Aylsham?

All I could find about him so far is that he was a farmer in Essex around the time he died, between 1993 - 2012. He was with the Kings African Rifles in 1945-6.

One possible candidate, but there are some others with variations of the surname.

RIPPINGALL, GRANVILLE  JOHN F T   1926 
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q4/2011 in SUFFOLK  (748-1E)  Entry Number 505593523


EDIT:


I have built a tree on FS and it turns out that Major Rippingall (Granville John Florance Thomas Ripingall) was the great great grandson of Rev S. F. Rippingall (Stephen Frost Rippingall). Another source says he died in 2009.

I still have to find a link between S. F.'s great grandfather Thomas Rippingall who married Elizabeth Worship in 1730 (Norwich and Fakenham records) and Henry Rippingall. I couldn't find Thomas Rippingall's birth record (around 1700).

Many thanks to PatLac and Ili1133 for all their detective works !
It was difficult to keep up with you both, but a wonderful journey with many twists and turns.
Again many thanks.
Try as I may, I cannot find a death/ burial for Elizabeth Rogers (nee Rippingall) which can be proven as the correct one. Her death/ burial must take place between 1753 (birth of son Harmer) and 1784 the second marriage of hubby Joseph.
Looking back at the time line I have for Joseph Rogers, he is in Norfolk 1750 - 1777. There is mention of him being in Carmathon, Wales in 1777, but I loose him after that until 1784 and his second marriage at Guildhall, London,,,,, perhaps he was in Carmathon longer? I shall try there

Hi Petey,

The last sighting of Elizabeth was 1760 when Susanna (and possibly a twin sister Elizabeth) were born in Norwich.

The history of Elizabeth’s upbringing with her grandmother made me think that she (and her sister Anne) inherited Rippingale land and property, independently from her husband Joseph. In the previous thread https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=893101.0

the discussion focussed on Joseph’s land and how it related to their son Harmer. However I’m wondering whether Elizabeth made a will, and whether that would help determine her death and burial.

Could you post the details of Joseph’s second marriage please?

This is the document I have for Josephs second marriage to Susanna Ingram.

03-10-1784, St. Lawrence Church, Jewry, Guilhall, London.

I found an interesting burial, not in Norfolk but Kingston, England.
(I presume Kingston upon Thames?)

Elizabeth Rogers wife of Joseph, buried 23 december 1782.

Could they have moved down to the smoke of London?

[Ili1133]

Unfortunately not the Elizabeth you’re looking for. The family were from the parish (in Cambridgeshire); Joseph and Elizabeth married there.

This document (21 October 1775) mentions "Joseph Rogers, surgeon, of the city of Norwich but now of Knapton Norfolk, and his heirs", but not Elizabeth his wife. Maybe it means Elizabeth was already dead.

I am sure that the death of Elizabeth wife of Joseph Rogers would be mentioned somewhere in a newspaper/ magazine perhaps? Maybe its time to invest in the newspaper archive site
