I have just joined the FHS. My relative Charles James Tippins was born in Coleford in 1876. His father Charles Porter Tippins (married to Julia Mary Griffiths his mother,) died in 1880 aged 34 years of Chronic alcoholism and injuries to head. He was a Wine and Spirit Merchant in Market Place (in 1870 Kelly Directory. Charles James was only 5 and family rumour has it that he was sent to Bluecoats School or similar. He was living with his grandparents Elizabeth (nee Green) and James Griffiths at the Angel Hotel Market Place Coleford in the 1881 Census when he was 5 but I can't track him until aged 15 living in Sunderland with his aunt Elizabeth in the 1891 Census. Any knowledge of the family gratefully received. There was a photo on the gallery of the Angel Hotel date uncertain, I did wonder if he might be on that.
