Edward Alexander [ALEX] Rippingille
Birth abt 1855 • Brighton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Death 1911

Please can the birth be confirmed?
Some of the family returned to England and married my GF.
I have no idea about the death date accuracy!

I am struggling with this interesting RIPPINGILLE family as three generations appear to have identical names and possibly three marriages for one of them!
