Hi Julie I have spent quite a lot of time in looking for your Samuel Ripingale/Ripingale. I couldn't find anything so decided to go back to base and look at the 1851 census image to verify your information. And I found this: 1851 - HO107; Piece: 1747; Folio: 384; Page: 35 Bridge Street, Peterborough St John the Baptist Susanna Bray 26 abt 1825 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Head Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire.....Straw Bonnet Maker Rachael Bray 24 abt 1827 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Sister Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire.....Straw Bonnet Maker Benjamin Bray 2 abt 1849 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Nephew Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire Samuel Rippingah 6 abt 1845 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Nephew Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire.....Scholar Mary Rippingah 30 abt 1821 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Sister Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire.....Sailor's Wife So Samuel is Susannah's nephew, but nowhere does it suggest that he is a stepson to Mary. Also I checked the 1861 census with this result: 1861 - RG9; Piece: 967; Folio: 28; Page: 18 Bridge Street, Peterborough St John the Baptist Mary Rippingale 40 abt 1821 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Head Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire.....Laundress Lam (verified on image as 'Sam') Rippingale 15 abt 1846 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Son Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire......Gra-----? cannot read this John W Rippingale 7 abt 1854 Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England Son Peterborough St John The Baptist Northamptonshire. So I am not sure if this is the correct Samuel you were wanting. I couldn't find a birth registration on freeBMD - only a Samuel Nightingale born in 1845/6 Over to you!

William and Rebecca were married in Wisbech St Peter May 13th 1840, on the 1851 census Samuel was living with his step mother Mary in Peterborough, his birth place is listed as Peterborough. I applied for his birth cert but the reg office has no record of it, maybe he wasn't registered

Julie ( & Sylvia) I don't suppose that Samuel was Mary's son born before she married William RIPPINGALE was he? There's a birth for a Samuel Robert Plator BRAY in June quarter 1845 Peterborough vol 15 page 355 This would tie in with the Marriage of Mary to William in 1848.

Hi Paula Thought I'd let you know you were right in thinking Samuel was Mary's son, I received his birth cert today, no father listed though. Thank you once again, I don't know why we didn't think of it.

Julia I've found a baptism of a Mary BRAY on the IGI which fits the age of your Mary. This Mary had parents Joseph & Mary and siblings which include Benjamin, Jane, Susannah, Elizabeth, Samuel, Rachel, Charlotte and Sarah. I've also found Joseph, Mary and family in the 1841 census and a possible marriage in Farcet, Huntingdonshire in 1814 which fits well. Mary seems to have been buried 12 May 1842 (aged 52) [10 days before a 1 year old Emma BRAY was buried] and Joseph was buried on 19 Feb 1855 (aged 67) - all burials at St John the Baptist, Peterborough. Let me know if you want the census image from 1841 or any of my other musings! Paula

Hi Paula I would love the census image if you wouldn't mind and any other information that you have. Thank you so much for your help. Warm Regards Julia ----
