Thanks for all your help folks. This website is certainly very good and i will check out the source of the DOB to try and see where he got it from. I think that he was a man of the sea ecause at some point he joined the BUFFs so maybe this is him. Thanks again, Alison |

Was Frederick a man of the sea? If so there is a Frederick J Chipperton aged 26 (born 1865) in the Royal Navy but not on board ship in the 1891 census. In the 1881 census he was also in the Royal Navy aged 17 as a "Boy 2nd Class" on HMS St Vincent. Could this be him? Gary |

Are you sure about the date? 1857 was not a Leap Year so there would not have been a 29th February that year. Pat, Frome, Somerset |

My great uncle has told me that his grandfather Frederick James Chipperton was born 29 feb 1857. His sister thinks that there is no birth certificate and tells that when he applied for an old age pension they just assumed that his age was correct. I did not believe this but cannot now find a record of it myself on 1837 site. Does anyone have any ideas? Was it common for births not to be registered? Any help gratefully received. Thanks Alison |
