Vic BDM Lookup please - TIPPETT

[newbe_nz]

 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.

Thanks Judith,

He is the last one in this family to find

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.

Thanks so much for looking. I guess he will turn up when he wants to
