The Tripp family were from Dorset, throughout the generations they used several surnames such as Bewnell, Stevens, Clavell and Criche, as given names. I found this family starting with Robert Tripp [1] who married Emma in 1740. they had son Thomas b. 1742
Robert Tripp was a Woollens
Draper and Tailor and is named in Pigot's Directory of 1815 as a
'Clothier and Army Woollens Draper ' with a shop at 28 - 29 Bath
Street Bristol.
Britain was at war with France from 1799 - 1815 in what became known as the Napoleonic Wars.
Because of constant fear of a French invasion, there were Militia stationed all along the south coast of England, many of them were in Dorset and they would have needed clothing including woollen uniforms.
King George III, following advice from his doctors regarding his health, was encouraged to enjoy bracing sea air, moved his family to Weymouth nearly every summer between 1789 and 1805. The town became the centre of royal life and the Prime Minister would travel there to see him to discuss parliament business.
During his reign very little coinage was struck and this caused a major problem for employers such as Robert Tripp.
The Industrial Revolution saw a massive influx of workers to towns and cities who could not be paid in kind, as maybe people who worked on the land had been.
The lack of coins with which to pay the workers led to business owners across England effectively minting their own money.

These were known as tokens and were
minted from 1811 - 1814 mainly made in copper and silver.
This is a token made for Robert Tripp to pay his workers, it is the only token of this type showing the image of a ship.
After the Wars ended in 1815, there was no longer the need for army clothiers such as Robert Tripp, and his business would have suffered. Whatever the cause, the company filed for bankruptcy in 1817.
