The William TRIPP in my Ancestry lived 1697-1783 in Shipham with wife Elizabeth Stenning. I have their daughter as Elizabeth baptized 13 Sept 1740. She was a single woman when son Charles was born 1763. He married Mary Day 28 June 1784. I haven’t been able identify Mary Day’s parents. My Mary Tripp b 17 Nov 1784 (probably baptismal date) so their first child. She was my great grandfather’s grandmother but he would not have known her as he was born in Canada & as a child moved to Iowa, USA. I believe most of my info is from the parish records of St Leonard’s church in Shipham. Doesn’t look like we share ancestors in those generations.

Hi my 4th great grandfather was John Tripp, we think of Yatton, about 6 miles north of Shipham. He was possibly the son of William and Ann and baptised at Yatton 24th April 1759. A John Tripp was married to Mary Chidee at Yatton in 1781, they had a son, William in 1782, but then Mary was burried in 1787. We think John remarried to Sarah (who is our ancestor) and they had two childeren - Elizabeth who lived from 1803 to 1818 and Charles born 1810 who was to have two children - a Charles and a Samuel still in Yatton. Does any of this match your records? Woud be good if it does. Best wishes, Ray Shorto

Can I ask where I would look for the transcription of the memorial that you mentioned? Is it possible to view it online? I had a look at the Churchyard records but not sure if I am looking in the right place.

Thank you very much Pat! For the original article and for this information! Graham also provided some information and I am very grateful! Ursula Ann BADMAN was my great-great grandmother and wife of John Simons. Private Walter SIMONS was one of their sons.
