All the records I have found for Essex Ramptons in the 16th and 17th centuries have come from the IGI and from familysearch. I have not verified any of these records against official sources. In Copford and Earls Colne, I have been able to construct a couple of family charts. See the distribution map of early Ramptons for a picture of the spread.

Copford and Mark's Tey are very close together and it is reasonable to assume that the marriage of Jone RAMPTON to John Smith, which took place in Mark's Tey in 1562, involved a member of the Copford Family. Although only a couple of marriages are recorded in the Copford parish registers, there are a number of baptisms and burials, and it has been possible to reconstruct a number of family charts which all involve baptisms in the 1560s. I would like to propose that these charts are all related, and that the fathers and mothers are siblings. The first chart, therefore, has no parent information but a number of children, based upon this premise.

At the same time as the marriages and baptisms were taking place in Copford, Jeremye RAMPTON was living in Earl's Colne, a few miles north of Copford. I speculate that he was married around 1560, so would be of an age with the four children shown in the first chart. Was he another sibling who moved away from the family parish when he married? I have not found a marriage for him, nor any baptismal information, only those records relating to his children.

See Copford above.

There are very few records of Rampton events in the parish of Tollesbury: one baptism, two burials and a marriage. These records all seem to centre around George RAMPTON, who was married to Grace (but no marriage has so far been found), had two sons (but only baptised one of them), and buried both of them before he also departed this life (no burial record here either) and his seeming widow remarried. His family chart can be found here.
