The Rippon family history has been
fairly clear from censuses, which place my great-great
grandfather George in close proximity to his brother
Richard, and directories, which identify the tobacconist's
business in Bartholomew Close, London, which Richard
and his uncle ran. The name Crofton re-occurs frequently
within the Corke family that George's daughter Mary
married into; this, combined with the Mormons' International
Genealogical Index and a web-based index of marriages
in North Yorkshire led me back a further generation.
