An article about the Yorkshire Migration from a Yorkshire-based online magazine.
Nice description of the emigration by Gord Ripley of Teeswater Ontario. Contains passenger list from the Providence on which Robert and Isabella Ripley traveled to Canada with their children.
Society dedicated to gathering and preserving genealogical linformation. Cumberland County is where many of the Ripleys settled.
Listing of the christenings, marriages, deaths in Ingleby Yorkshire from 1539. This book lists the baptisms of Robert Ripley and Isabella Beane's children who were born in Yorkshire. Indexed.
Published in 1885 by Cyrus Black, a descendant of the Methodist preacher William Black. The book is a sketch of 23 families who settled mainly in the River Philip area. It has a chapter on early English Settlers which includes the Ripleys on page 176.
My cousin Gord Ripley's indexed website contains a genealogy for the first 5 generations of Ripleys. It was originally based on the work of Ernest Coates (1910-1997) and Lawson Smith ( 1899-1984) who were able to collect a great deal of anecdotal information from descendants of original settlers. Gord updates the website regularly.
This history of early Chignecto Isthmus was published in 1902 by Howard Trueman. I find there is considerable overlap with the Posterity of William Black which was published a little earlier. Contains information about the early forts and churches and many family descriptions and genealogies. I have found several inaccuracies but this is a good starting point. Online and downloadable as a .pdf. Not indexed so use the find command (Ctrl or Cmd +F) to search the document for a particular name.
large archive on the history of Nova Scotia gives index to documents but you must go there to view
