John Ralph born in Exeter, England Abt. 1862 married to Caroline Gregory Abt 1901
Looking for birth, death and other records on John Ralph who married Caroline Gregory of Exeter, England. Derivative sources I've found show their known children are William Ralph, Alfred Ralph, Florence Ralph, Kit Ralph, Beatrice Ralph, Nora Ralph, Hilda Ralph and Ron Ralph, however, I believe there are more. John Ralph was born about 1875 in Minster, Kent, Exeter, Devon, England and married Caroline about 1901.

Thank you to all of you for this wonderful information. I'm going to get to work finding documents from what you've given me! Your help is greatly appreciated.
Doris Evelyn Ralph was my grandmother.
Great Aunty Kit was indeed Caroline, my middle name was after Aunty Kit.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
