I think that R R Redrup may have been one of my great grandmothers

My ggm had three husbands  and I decided to get some more research in before My Ancestry subs expire.
I think that this newspaper report concerns him, but there are a few coincidences.

It seems that Temple End is less that half a mile from where I lived with a girlfriend in a bedsit in Priory Road in  the mid 1970s, and, this report :

Death of Mr. R. R. Redrup. —We regret to announce the death of Mr. Richard Robert Redrup, late of Temple End. High Wycombe, who succumbed to pneumonia at Courns View, North Dean, Hughenden, on March 31st

search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0000270%2f19280413%2f201

was published on my birthday!

It seems that in 1871 his father was a baker and lived at Prestwood cottage next to ' Golden Ball'  that was occupied by John West, a 'beer seller'

Also could anybody please confirm if this Golden Ball was anything to do with Sir Francis Dashwood. What was 'Courns View' ?

What was 'Courns View'

If you google Courns View, North Dean, Hughenden it shows up as a house. So I would assume he died at his home or a family members home.

According to the report he was 62 years of age and left a widow and one son and two daughters.

St Lawrence's Church in West Wycombe has a golden ball on top of the church tower - this and the Hellfire Caves in the hill there are associated with Sir Francis Dashwood.  The famous landmark of the golden ball on the church inspired the names of at least two beer selling places.

There's a Golden Ball Pub in Golden Ball Road, Maidenhead SL6 6NW but I don't think this is the location you're looking for. 

The 1871 census is of Prestwood Parish and on page 27 of the following http://prestwoodva.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/PRESTWOOD-DISSERTATION.pdf there's a map showing Prestwood Cottage next door to Golden Ball! 

My Great Grandmother was Emma Redrup b. 1853 Monks Risborough but none of her five brothers were named Richard or Robert, they might have been cousins though.  She did have a brother Henry (same name as Richard's father) but he would only have been 10 years old in 1871.

Thanks for that Heather Lynne.
I am sure it might be facinating reading. I am very busy at the moment to spare  much time on this I think Richard R Redrup's father was
b. abt 1828  at Gt Missenden, Buckinghamshire his wife Ann was a year older than he she was b Whitchurch and was a dressmaker.
In the 1881 census Richard's siblings were
Leonard H. Redrup    24
Elizabeth H. Redrup    17
Edward G. Redrup    9

Edit. Has anyone any idea why the name Emma was  fashionable ?

It seems that it was used a lot in the Kirtland family and others as well.

Can anybody please tell me if R R Redrup was related to

'Redrup, George Bong, 8, Park Street, Bed room and sitting room furnished. Rent 6s. a week, Mrs.  8, Park Street. Widow, Bed room and sitting room furnished. Rent 6s. a week, 728' From Local paper of 1896.
This is apparently confirmed in 1881 census

What was Emma Redrup's  maiden name ?
Is anything about George's former occupation(s)?
The Black Horse (or another public house)
Is Bong a misprint?
 and what is the significance of 728 ?
