Hi there,
I am trying to find out if Alfred TIPETT/TIPPETT was married or died in Victoria.
His parents are Mark TIPPETT and Ellen VOWELS.
Alfred was born in Auckland, New Zealand on 23/12/1874
I can find no marriage or death for him in NZ
This is the link to the NZ thread

Cheers

The National Archives site shows 2 soldiers who give father Alfred TIPPETT as NoK. One served in WW1 (he was 19 in 1914 thus born about 1895) so it's possible - born in Wangaratta and father still there in 1914. The second soldier served in WW2, shows a birth of 1917 in Bendigo :-\ Unfortunately the record is not yet digitised.

Electoral rolls show an Alfred TIPPETT, woodcutter and Ethel May (home duties) at Wellsford, via White Hills near Bendigo in 1919 and 1924. I assume they are the parents of the soldier. Whether it's your chap is another matter. I don't see this person on later rolls, although there are two Ethel May TIPPETTs on later rolls - one in Bendigo.

Hi, I did a check using the two spellings that you gave for Alfred. I searched the Victorian marriage indexes up to 1920, and didn't find him. I also searched for his death in Victoria, but I'm afraid no luck.
Unfortunately, there are probably lots of different ways Tippett could be spelled, or mispelled.
