  Biography
  Unknown Parentage; No Evidence of Yorkshire Origins
  The parentage of William Rippley of Wramplingham and Wymondham, Norfolk is unknown and his origin is uncertain. Some family trees say that he came from Yorkshire and was the son of a Cuthbert Ripon/Ripley. However, no reliable evidence for that origin or parentage has been found and both such origin and parentage seem entirely implausible.
  
  Date and Place of Birth
  Based on the date of William's first known marriage (1574) and his date of death (1620), William was probably born sometime in 1540-1551, with about 1550 being a reasonable round-number estimate. Since William was married and had children in Wramplingham, he was probably born in or near Wramplingham, Norfolk.
  
  No Evidence for a Sowood Marriage
  The same family trees that say that William came from Yorkshire and was the son of Cuthbert Ripon/Ripley also say that he married in 1571 in Yorkshire a woman named Joanna Sowood and had several children by her. No reliable evidence for that proposition has been found and it seems quite implausible.
  
  First Marriage
  William married, first, Margaret Thomson at Wramplingham on 1 April 1574. Margaret was buried at Wramplingham on 1 December 1575. No evidence has been found that they had any children.
  
  Second Marriage and Children
  William married, second, Sicelye Row/Reve at Wramplingham on 5 July 1579.
  
  William and Sicelye had the following children, all baptized in Wramplingham:
  1.) Elizabeth, bpt. 7 May 1580, possible bur. on 8 January 1622 in Wymondham

  6.) Abraham, bpt. 28 December 1591
  
  7.) John, bpt. 27 December 1592
  
  8.) Anne, bpt. 23 June 1594, bur. 28 August 1594
  
  William's wife Sicely was buried at Wramplingham on 20 May 1597.
  
  Public Life; Move to Wymondham
  The 1577 muster roll for Wramplingham includes a "willm ruplie" who was no doubt this profile's William.
  
  William moved to Wymondham, Norfolk sometime between 1597 and 1615. He is included in the "book of losses" from the Great Wymondham Fire of 1615.
  
  Death; Burial
  William ("William Ripply Senex") was buried in Wymondham on 28 January 1620.
  
  William Rippon Ripley - 1547
  Born in Halifax, Yorkshire, William was baptized as 'Rippon'. In his second marriage, children are baptized as 'Ripley'. By his third marriage, he has again reverted to 'Rippon'.

  Name variations: Ruplie, Rupley, Ripley FTM CD113, John Beal by Clarke, 1987: Family History: 217 Genealogy Books "The Ripley Entries were: " In the 1574 muster, Wm Ruplie (Ripley) was listed in Wramplingham as 'Select Person'. "A marriage license was issued 6 December 1572 to WILLIAM RUPLEY (RIPLEY) of Pulham St. Mary to Margaret Thompson of Tivelshall. This was WILLIAM'S first marriage. His wife died soon. Their marriage license shows 1 April 1574 in Wramplingham. Why the delay from 6 December 1572 to 1574 is a mystery. Margaret Thompson Ripley was buried in Wramplingham on 1 December 1575. There are two Pulham St. Mary Churches--St. Mary The Virgin and St. Mary Magdalene--and both are located in southeast Norfolk County. The Parish Registers began in 1538 and 1539 and both are located in the Churches or Rectories and have not been published. "The parents of Frances Ripley who married JOHN BEALE in Wymondham, Norfolk County, England, were WILLIAM and SICELYE (REVE) RIPLEY who were married in Wramplingham, Norfolk County, 5 July 1579. "SICELYE (REVE) RIPLEY was christened 8 July 1588 and buried in Wramplingham 10 or 19 May 1597. WILLIAM, a glover and father of Frances, was buried in Wymondham on 28 January 1619/20 and his will was proved 17 February 1620. It provided for Elizabeth, his third wife, Richard, Elizabeth, Frances, Robert, WILLIAM, Abraham and Thomas Smith, son of his Wife Elizabeth. "On 27 December 1622, Elizabeth Ripley, widow of WILLIAM, made a noncupative will which was probated 18 January 1622/23. She left what she inherited from her husband to her daughter, wife of Andrew Bidlock in Debenham, Suffolk; to Daughter Cecily Spink, William Spink, her bellchild (stepchild), Elizabeth Spink another bell-child, a widowed Daughter Ann Pary, Elizabeth Pary a grandchild, Thomas Pary a grandchild, and all else to Thomas Smith, her son, and his Wife Amy. Thomas Smith was to bury Elizabeth and distribute something to the poor of Wymondham. "France s Ripley was christened in Wramplingham 15 April 1584. She married JOHN BEALE in Wymondham on 11 June 1616. She died and was buried there on 16 March 1630 leaving her husband JOHN and a family of five living children--Martha, Nathaniel, Mary, Sarah and John, Jr. "WILLIAM RIPLEY, son of WILLIAM and SICELYE (REVE) RIPLEY, was christened in Wramplingham on 8 July 1588. "The Wymondham Parish Register lists births from 1614 as follows: Mary, daughter of WILLIAM RIPLEY, baptized 6 Sep 1616 ____, daughter of WILLIAM RIPLEY, baptized 3 Feb 1618/19 John, son of WILLIAM RIPLEY, baptized 1 Jan 1621/22 Abraham, son of WILLIAM RIPLEY, baptized 9 May 1624 *SARAH, daughter of WILLIAM RIPLEY, baptized 28 Oct 1627 "The History of Hingham, Massachusetts, shows John, SARAH, Abraham and an unidentified daughter accompanying WILLIAM to Hingham, America. "On September 1654, WILLIAM RIPLEY married for the second time. It was to a widow, Elizabeth Thaxter, widow of Thomas. WILLIAM RIPLEY died 30 June 1656.
