The marriage of this couple took place in Falmouth in 1913 [note 1].
Charles was a 63-year-old widower; his occupation recorded as ‘grocer etc.’, his father as miller John Ripper and his place of residence as Yeovil; he had previously married Arabella Robbins in 1879.
Sarah Jane was a 48-year-old widow living in Falmouth, daughter of carpenter John Whitford; she had previously married Frederick Charles Yeo.
Frederick Charles Yeo and Sarah Jane Whitford had emigrated to South Africa shortly after their marriage in 1895, and they had a son Frederick John Yeo there the following year (see below). Three years later, Frederick Charles Yeo died; his widow and son appear to have returned to Cornwall soon afterwards. Sarah Jane married Charles Ripper as described above; she died in 1944.
