Ripple in the 1700's
« on: Tuesday 25 June 19 19:24 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know of a source were I can find out more about what happened in the Ripple area in the 1700's, in particular 1729. I have a father and an adult son die in the same year. I'm not from the area so not familiar with local history and I know it may be a coincidence that they both died the same year..... but there could have been a reason. Any suggestions please.
