Edward Alexander Rippingille’s second marriage in 1863 gives his father as Edward Villiers Rippingille (artist)

Edward Villiers died in 1859. Perhaps another reason that his son returned from Australia?

The son Edward Alexander Rippingille born 1855 in Australia
Is in 1881 census in Hornsey Middlesex working as a hardware merchant

He married Florence Amelia  COCKILL in Aston Warwickshire in 1880
She is a widow by 1911 census.

I can see that Edward A Rippingille comes back to Melbourne in 1907, onboard "Cycle"

It looks as if he died in 1910 in Western Australia

Death 1911


I have no idea about the death date accuracy!

There is an Edward Arthur RIPPINGILLE aged 55 died in Lower Blackwood,  Western Australia in 1910. On Electoral rolls he appears to be Edward Alexander RIPPINGILLE.
