NotesLife was no picnic for Charles and his brother, Harry, in England and they certainly had a better life in Canada than they would have had in England. Charles married, had nice jobs, owned a home and his children went to University etc. He lived to a ripe old age which is a lot more than his parents who died at 50 and 45.

Their father (Samuel Tippett / Tibbett) died when Charles was 4 and his mother (Mary Russell Tippett) died when he was eight (June 11, 1878) from Intestinal Obstruction and Exhaustion. There were 6 children of whom Charles and Henry were the youngest. The next oldest brother, James, who was 13 when his mother died, was a working man for the princely sum of 5 shillings and 6 pence/week. They received no charity from anyone during this time. James Tippett lasted 15 months after his mothers death and died from pneumonia. Henry was admitted to Barnardos right away and Charles was cared for by a neighbor for about a year until he was accepted by Barnardos on November 17, 1879.

In 1881, Charles Tippett is shown as an inmate at Dr. Barnardos home in Grouville, Jersey, England. (Source: 1881 Census of England and Wales; Teighmore RG11/5618/7/7)

In 1884, Charles Tippett, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 56 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His daughter owns the Bible her father was given when leaving Liverpool. The inscription reads:

To Charles Tippett
From his friend
Mrs. Hely Hutchinson
26 June 1884

I love them that love me:
and those that seek me early
shall find me.
Proverbs VIII.17

In 1891, Charles Tiffit, 18, is shown as a domestic / farm labourer for Alex McIntosh and family in Cypress North, Marquette, Manitoba, Canada. (Source: 1891 Census of Canada; Archive Roll #: T-6293.)

In 1901, Charles Tippett, 26, was shown as a servant / farm labourer to Gregory Barritt and family in Cypress (North), MacDonald, Manitoba, Canada. His date of birth was shown as December 26, 1874, and his immigration year as 1881.

During this period of time, when he was working for the Barrett family, he was also associated with the Carberry Turf Club. He must have greatly admired Gregory Barrett as he named his daughter and son after Gregory's children.

On March 13, 1916, Charles Tippett, 38, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces (Service No. 809003). He declared that he resided in High River, Alberta, Canada; that he was born in London, England; that his next of kin was his brother, Henry Tippett, who resided in Rickdale, Alberta, Canada; that his date of birth was December 26, 1877; that he was a farmer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 8 inches in height; fair complexion; blue eyes; brownish hair. He was a member of the Church of England.

On February 26, 1926, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a marriage was registered between Charles Tippett and May Halsall.

Charles and May Tippett had two children: Francis Henry Tippett and Dorothy Mae Tippett.

On September 26, 1955, Charles Tippett died in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, of arteriosclerotic heart disease at the age of 83. He was cremated on September 29, 1955, at Calgary Crematorium.
