Ancestry Research


This started for me in 1980 and many visits with my wife Jane,to local 
churches for parish records, graveyards, libraries and County archives. Modern 
computer technology has now made genealogy very much easier, with research 
being carried out without leaving the home.


The Rippin Family 
Mainly Farmers and Farmworkers originated from Garthorpe village near 
Melton Mowbray Leicestershire,and moved to other small villages of Burton 
Coggles Lincs, Sproxton Leics, Colsterworth,and Stamford Town Lincs. 
Finally to the village of Greetham in Rutland. Some families moved overseas 
to Ohio America and others were seeking gold in Ballarat Australia in 1852.
