Alfred TIPPINS 1888 (General)
Was going to ask for this help a couple of hours ago, but got sidetracked with the Wait/Brain thread from Jean Herbert - now it looks like Henry wasn't a 4th cousin.....huh.
Alfred Tippins appears in 1891 census as grandson of Francis and Laura (Cooksey). Living with them are two widowed sons of Francis and Louisa - George and James, so it would be reasonable to start with those two as possible father to Alfred.
The BMD shows an Alfred George Tippins born q2 1887 W-o-S
I've not been able to find Alfred post-1891. Does anyone have any further info on him, before I send off for the possible birth cert?
Now back to my Wait/Brains.......
Thanks all
Bob Jenkins

Thanks once again, Slowhands - that tidies up Albert/Frederick's parents. I just noticed Rhoda Meek's father was a Moses. I already have a Moses 1832 Ruardean Hill, parents John and Ann Roberts, who married Ann Malsom, and also a Moses 1833 Ruardean Hill, parents Moses and Sarah Tippins........so now there's a third, married to Lucy. That's this evening taken up, I reckon! - just glad I wasn't their postman......
Regards
Bob

Hi Reporter & Slowhands
I have been following this thread as well. I note that some of your suggestions for Rhoda's parents are from the report I sent you, that I note you are still delving through, as per your email to me today.
Slowhands information has caused me to check out Moses and I think this is Moses Meek baptised 23.11.1828 Ruardean, son of Beriah Meek and Tryphena Williams - note that Moses and Lucy had a daughter Tryphena in 1881.
Beriah Meek & Tryphena Williams also had a son Beriah, who married a Jane. They were the parents of 12 children including Charles Henry James Meek, killed WW1 buried Ploegsteert, Belgium 19.4.1918. His picture is on the web site.
Sorry to add to your distractions !!
