Introduction

This page was originally devoted to the RIPPINGALE ancestors of my mother - the origins of the name, who they were and where and when they lived. I am now adding other data about this unusual surname as it becomes available.

The genealogical data in these pages is accurate to the best of my (and other researchers') current knowledge at the time of writing. This means it is of very variable reliability, since sources at one extreme are 100% certain (e.g. I know who I married, where and when, and the identity of my parents) to the mere rumour level, such as LDS data extracted from the IGI and Ancestral File, and reminiscences of elderly relatives, some now deceased. Anyone wishing to make any use whatever of this information is therefore strongly advised to contact me (or the other originator) for source details.

Please note that the email links to other researchers will work only if you have Javascript enabled in your browser. This is a precaution to defeat spammers' robots trying to harvest email addresses.

My thanks to all the people who provided much of the data which appears on this page, especially to the LDS and Jean Greenwood who provided transcriptions of baptisms and marriages which I have used as a basis for some of the transcriptions shown below.

Origins of the name

Neither the surname RIPPINGALE nor any of its variants is mentioned in either Hanks and Hodges: Dictionary of Surnames or in Reaney and Wilson: A Dictionary of English Surnames, but the much smaller (and cheaper!) Cottle: The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames says it is derived from a place of that name in Lincolnshire. This is born out by the fact that in the mid-13th century the Lord of the Manor of Rippingale, Lincolnshire, was Sir Hugh Rippingale, who was also for a time Sheriff of Lincolnshire.

There is also a story, of unknown provenance and reliability, that the name was given to all orphans housed in an orphanage in the village.

Variants of the name

I have personally found the following variants (most not yet known to be related to me), all in Norfolk: Ripengale (1), Ripengill (0), Ripingale (0), Ripingall (0), Rippengale (15), Rippengall (1), Rippengill (3), Rippingal (0), Rippingale (11) and Rippingall (5), Rippingell (0), Rippinghall (0), Rippingille (0). I have also been informed by another researcher of the variant Ripongale (0). Another has mentioned one Ripingill (0) present in Sunderland in 1800 and another emigrating to USA from there in 1913 (my thanks to both correspondents). The number in parentheses is the number of people with the name in the 1851 census for Norfolk. I have stuck to the form Rippingale for my own relatives on this page, even when other variants appear on documents (although I do mention the latter), but transcriptions, unless stated otherwise, show the original spellings.

My Rippingale ancestors

Eliza Rippingale

On 14th September 1839 my maternal grandfather's maternal grandfather David DYE married Eliza Rippingale at West Newton Parish Church, Norfolk. The handwriting on the certificate makes it impossible to determine if the spelling is Rippingale or Rippingall, but their daughter Emily's birth certificate on 15th October 1845 definitely gives the spelling Ripengill, which I have found nowhere else.

She was baptised at Middleton, Norfolk on 16th March 1817, daughter of John Rippingale, labourer and his wife "Honora".

The 1851 census shows Eliza as being 34 years old, and born in Myddleton, a village not far from both West Newton, where she married, and Kings Lynn, where the family were living at the time of the census. The 1861 census for the same address in Southgate Street, South Lynn, confirms both age and place of birth (but spells the place name Middleton).

The census shows that she bore David Dye at least three children, Eliza Hannah (age 11 at the 1851 census), Martin (age 9) and Emily (age 5), all born in West Newton. The 1861 census shows two of the children, but Martin is missing. It could be that he had left home to earn his living elsewhere by then, when he would have been 19.

John Rippingale

Eliza Rippingale's marriage certificate says her father was a labourer named John Rippingale, and this is confirmed by the baptism record quoted above. The Fring, Norfolk parish register shows he was baptised there in April 1771 (no precise date is given), son of Edward and Elizabeth.

He married Honour Nailer of "Hitcham" at Flitcham, Norfolk on 16th June 1794. Whether this really means Heacham, a nearby Norfolk village, or Hitcham near Stowmarket in Suffolk I do not know, but the former seems more likely.

Edward Rippingale

Edward is named as the father of John in the Fring parish register, and his wife's name was Elizabeth. An Edward is shown as being baptised in Fring in 1732. Since the name is rare, and this is the same parish, it seems almost certain this is the same man despite his age (39) when the first child is shown as being baptised. This could be the result of a late marriage, the late baptism of John (unlikely, since his brothers were baptised in 1773 and 1775, or because earlier children were baptised elsewhere, such as in his wife's parish. An Edward Rippingale married Elizabeth Barker at Fring on 9th October 1760, which seems very likely to be this couple and fits with the latter theory. Edward appears to have died in 1783 and his widow in 1795.

Thomas Rippingale

The parents of this Edward were Thomas and Elizabeth. I do not know their origins. A Thomas was buried in Fring in 1782, but there was at least one other that this could have been. Elizabeth seems to have died in 1774.

Other researchers' Rippingale interests

Other Rippingale researchers are invited to send their data, queries and problems on the family for display here, in the hope that we may be able to help one another, to establish links between our families, and perhaps eventually link all the Rippingales back to their original founder(s).

My mothers maiden name was Rippingale. I have traced back to my 4th Great Grandfather. His name was Robert Rippingale (a tanner). His wife was Mary Anne Griffiths. My research shows he had a son called Robert John Rippingale who was born in 1820 at Moulsham Essex England.

Robert John Rippingale married a Mary Ballard in London (Middlesex). Robert John migrated to Australia around 1866. He had a brother called John Griffiths Rippingale and three sisters.

I would appreciate any information anyone may have. If you do have some information could you please put rippingale in the subject line, for spam reasons.

Some basic information on my mom's side:
Mother's maiden name---Doris Rippengale Swan---born in Toronto,Ontario, Canada 1922
Her Father---Henry Michael Rippengale (Swan-he was adopted by Robert Swan-don't know at what age) born in 1883
He was the son of Henry George Rippengale, born 1843
His father was Michael Rippengale, born in 1825.
They were all born in the London area as far as I know.

Henry Michael Rippengale (1883) married Mildred Ellen Kingdon Hookey on August 17, 1915.

is trying to identify positively his ancestor Hannah Brockes, born about 1809 in Foulness, Essex.

The approximate year of birth is taken from age (32) on 1841 Census and (42) on 1851 Census (recorded for Hannah Murrell).
IGI record shows 'Hannah Brockes, born 1809, Foulness'.
Age at death shown as 72 so date of birth may have been about 1807.

The only Hannah found on the Foulness records for 1809 Baptisms was 'Hannah, bastard child of Hannah Rippengale'. Is this the same person?

She married John Murrell. Marriage details show:-
Marriages solemnized in the Parish of Prittlewell in the County of Essex in the year 1825. John Murrell, bachelor. Hannah Brockes, spinster. Married by Banns 12 Oct 1825.
Information taken from 'Prittlewell marriages 1813 to 1837, fiche 2, page 65' at Southend Records Office.

In researching my family tree, I have come across a birth certificate for Charles Alfred Scrutton, born Liverpool Q3 1881. His parents are Richard Scrutton and Martha Ripongale. 1891 census records show Martha, age 50, birthplace Ireland. I've drawn a blank so far in tracing any reference to the name Ripongale as such. The writing on the birth certificate is fairly clear, but it could be another variant of Rippingale etc. etc.

writes:

I am currently researching Edward Villiers Rippingill and his descendants. He is my husbands 3x Great Grandfather. Some sources have his birth date as 1798 and others have his birth date as 1789/90 and of course born at Lynn, Norfolk. Edward died in 1859 aged 70 years so this would mean the year of birth was 1789. I am trying to find a baptism for him and also find out who his parents were. His father is recorded as a Farmer.

writes:

Amelia ,or Amelie, Matilde Rippengal/e born 1832/3 in Sydenham, Kent and probably died before 1864. A daughter Mary Eliza Sturgess was born in 1857/8 in Northampton. The family are found on 1851 census staying with Edmond Kent family in Lewisham. Was Amelia the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Rippengale. Does anyone have any links with Sydenham Rippengales?

Some will be odd entries from, e.g. directories, while others will be transcriptions of all the Rippingale entries in whatever documents become available. All contributions of Rippingale data and ephemera welcome. I shall initially simply add new items to the end, but if the quantity grows too much I shall probably organise it by county and/or date and/or type of material.
