Hello Richard
My "great grand uncle" was Peter Gipp. My grt grandmother was one of his sisters . (Maryann Eliza Gipp) She was the oldest and he was the youngest as she was born in 1871, about 19 years prior to Peter's birth.
I was researching Peter Gipp recently and came upon your post.
Please get in touch if you are still looking online. I have just been asked to get in touch with a near relative of yours.
I was born in Hackney but now live in New Zealand
Regards
Susan

Hi Susan

Thanks for your message

Peter Gipp was indeed my Grandfather and his youngest son keith (known as Ken) was my father who died Nov 2012.
Since my fathers death a maternal cousin has been investigating the family tree for us.

If it is ok with you I will pass on your message to him, currently he is back to 1841.

Can I ask who you have been asked to contact?

Richard

Hello Richard

The person who wrote to me is Derek Wright who asked me to get in touch with Brian Stanley. I am very sorry to hear that your father has died.

Derek gave me the email address of Brian. I have written - no reply as yet but it is only recently that I wrote.

I will open my tree for you - it is private. Regarding the Gipps, I could only get back as far as William Gipp born about 1802. I have done much work on all the Gipp cousins, etc.. William Gipp was erroneously supposed to come from Farnham, Surrey, whereas I realise that he came from Farnham Essex. I have put a comment on his profile.

This village is near Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire. His wife Martha came from Bishop's Stortford so it all fell into place. I have been taking her tree back further on her side, but as there are several people of the same name here and there it has become difficult.

I will give you my email address when I invite you to my tree.

Kind regards

Susan

hi susan

I answered your email before I read this, Brian is my maternal cousin that I mentioned to you yesterday, I believe derek is a friend of his who has been helping him as they are memebers of different ancestry sites.

Brian had the same problem over William Gipp and his whereabouts but came to the same conclusion as you.

Its strange, about 15 yrs ago my brother and his family moved from London to Dunmow which is 5-10 miles from Stortford, the family returns to its roots........ haha
