Hi Cathy
just tracked my GreatGrand father John Walter Rippington to Kensington, Middlesex, England He was born in December 31, 1846/7 I think he had a brother named George. John came to canada in 1865 and married Cora Phinney in Winnipeg, Manitoba in july 1890. They moved around a little as I still can't find Bessie Grace's (My gramma) birth place. back then N.W.T. also included parts of Alberta, Saskatchawn, and North western Manitoba. My Uncle Charlie was born in Vernon, British Columbia.. John also received a couple of land grants and one was in BC. but I haven't had time yet to find out exactly where. does this make us closer to being related.. hehe. I went on our telus phone directory and typed in Rippington... there isn't alot of them...nine I think... I should send them a form letter and see if they are related to John in some way.
talk to you soon
regards
Diana
