My maternal grandfather was Frederick STRIPLING, at least that
was what he was known as. However, he was illegitimate (a fact he was not
aware of until quite late on in his life) and was adopted into the STRIPLING
family. Therefore I am not related to the STRIPLING family, but am very
keen to learn more about them.
My great-grandmother (the mother of Frederick STRIPLING see above) was
Mary Paynter. She was married twice, the first time to a man called SMITH
and secondly, and a little curiously, to William Paynter STRIPLING. In
between those two relationships she gave birth to my grandfather in 1874.
A great great-grandfather. He was the father of Harriett KING who
married Henry BAINES. One of their children, Francis Edgar BAINES was my
grandfather. Samuel was a Londoner and a boot maker, probably born around
1807.
This is my attempt at transcribing the 'birthday book' kept by Jane Paterson,
born 25/2/1845. Her parents were David Paterson and Eleanor
Kirkpatrick. She married William Rimmer. Most of her life was spent
on Merseyside, UK.. Please let me know if you find any mistakes or have
further information to add.
