 The affluent Fripp family of Bristol held many professions including Merchants, Judges, Architects, Artists, Authors and Surgeons. Sir Alfred Downing Fripp was the personal surgeon to King Edward VII and King George V.
   Sir Alfred's Grandfather, Rev. Samuel Charles Fripp, married the daughter of marine artist Capt. Nicholas Pocock. Captains were frequent in the Pocock line, one was even mentioned in Swift's Gulliver's Travels.  Nicholas' other descendants included Artists, Authors and Dramatists and Dame Lena Ashwell O.B.E., an actress who was honoured for entertaining the troops during the 1st World War. She later became Lady Simson when she married the Royal obstetrician, Sir Henry Simson, who assisted the births of Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Margaret.
   The aim of this tree is to find a link between the Fripps of Witchampton, Bristol and South Carolina. In 1836 William Fripp, Gt Gt Grandson of the progenitor of South Carolina Fripps, visited a cousin in Bristol who was said to be Mayor at the time. A letter states that this was Edward B. Fripp but this is incorrect as it was Edward's cousin William Fripp Jr who was Mayor of Bristol in 1836. There are many other conflicting reports but the truth is out there, somewhere.
