Dear Betty
Hi!As you know the Rev Stephen Frost Rippingall occurs in my family line too and since I spoke to you I have gained a little more information that may be of use to you.
According to the IGI, Rev Stephen Frost Rippingall was born about 1789 at Langham, Norfolk.This checks out with the 1851 British Census return (I have an extract) for Langham House, Norfolk, which gives the Rev SF Rippingall's age as 61 (ie born 1790 or I guess late in 1789).On the IGI his parents are given as father Thomas Rippingal (note the surname spelling is different, but this could be either a registration error or a transcription error into the IGI) and mother Mary Frost.
Incidentally, according the IGI, the Rev SF Rippingall had 2 sons named 'Stephen Frost' - the first christened at Aylmerton, Norfolk, on 27 September 1818, and the second born at Langham in 1827 (I don't have an exact date).I have no idea what happened to the son christened in 1818 - maybe he died young as they re-used the names "Stephen Frost" for the son born in 1827 at Langham.The son born in 1827 was still alive in 1851 when the census was taken and is included in the census return for Langham House, the Rippingall family home.
Happy New Year!
Best wishes,
Mary
