     St. Chad's Church Baptismal Register Entry - "James, the son of Thomas Tipper was Baptised.(as written in the Bishop's Transcript of the Register) but the Parish Register entry clearly says "Henry", son of Thomas Tipper."^1,2,3

     James Tipper was married to Elizabeth Vince on Saturday, 5 August 1690 at St. Oswald's Church, Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
     Composite Parish Register Entry - ""James Tipper of Yevly Hale in Shirley Parish married Elizabeth Vince"
There are no IGI baptism entries in the period 1660-1674 for an Elizabeth Vince in the Midlands and her origins are unknown. (nb. there is an IGI entry for the Marriage on this date as taking place at "Middle or Dove Green United Methodist or Free Church, Selston, Nottingham" - this appears to be entirely spurious, among other reasons there being no Methodist churches at that date!).."^1,4

     James Tipper was a Beneficiary of the Will of Thomas Tipper written on 20 July 1718;
and bequeathed:
- to his son, James, a Cottage demised to Thomas by lease in 1697 plus £10
- to his grandson John, son of James, an interest in the cottage, plus two beds and other furniture
- to his granddaughter Mary, daughter of Walter, £5
- to his granddaughter Dorothy, daughter of Jonathon Atkins, £5
- to her sister Elizabeth, £15
the residue to Jonathon Atkins
- to his grandson Thomas Tipper, 40 shillings
The Will, which Thomas signed with his mark, is held by Lichfield Record Office.
It indicates that he was not a pauper. It is puzzling that the residue of his estate, valuable or not, should be left to his son-in-law Jonathon Atkins. The absence of his daughter Ann Atkins from the Will implies that she was already dead herself. Perhaps the elderly, Widowed Thomas lived with Ann and later Jonathon.¹

     James Tipper, son of Thomas Tipper and Dorothy, died in March 1723.

     He was buried at St. Peter's Church, Snelston, Derbyshire, on Sunday, 21 March 1723.
     Cemetery Register Entry - James Tipper was Buried.⁶

     No Tippers are known in Longford at the time and James/Henry could feasibly be the first son of Thomas and Dorothy, as Longford is only about 3 miles form Yeaveley; he could equally be the first child of Thomas and Jane nee Frost married 3 months earlier in the more distant Kniveton
OR
there is a further baptism in Kniveton in April 1969 - the Register entry "James ?Toiper" is difficult to decifer and no parents are given; a "Tho., son of Tho. Tipper" is also Baptised there later in the year.
But no Baptisms have been found either for James' siblings Walter and Ann, and that of James may also be missing.¹

     James Tipper, son of James Tipper and Anne Smith, died on Saturday, 24 December 1898, in Scropton, Derbyshire,""Terrible Fatality at Scropton"
A farmer shot dead by his friend.
A very sad accident, which unfortuately terminated fatally, occurred in the village of Scropton at noon on Christmas Eve. Two neighbouring farmers, Messrs James Tipper and Thomas Beck, went out with their guns with the intention of shooting rabbits and field-fares. From what can be gathered the hammer of the gun carried by Mr Beck somehow caught in a part of his coat and accidentally went off. Mr Tipper, who was not more than an arm's length away, was stooping down at the time, and received the full charge of shot in the back of his head, the back of the skull being completely blown away. So close was Mr Tipper's grandson, a lad named Green, aged about five (who was the only other person present), that blood from his grandfather's wound was sprinkled on the poor little fellow's collar. Mr Beck for the moment did not know that his friend was shot and said to him "Get up, Jim" but as he did not move he realised that he had shot him. Mr Beck's feelings on seeing what had occurred may better be imagined than described. He at once ran to the house, only a hundred yards away, to inform Mr Tipper's daughters, and he then ran across to Mr Skipton's, whose house is quite close to the scene of the accident. Mr Tipper was as speedily and as carefully as possible carried into his house and medical aid procured. Dr Wolfenden was first to arrive, quickly followed by Dr Dobbs, but these gentlemen saw at once that nothing could be done, and Mr Tipper passed away in about an hour and a half without regaining conciousness. A gloom has been cast over the village, and much sympathy is felt for both families, who are well known and much respected. Mr Beck was for some time almost frantic with grief at the thought that he had taken his friend's life. Mr Tipper was clerk at the parish church, as also had been his father for as long as anyone can remember. He was also Chief Ranger of the Court Cumming Lodge of the A.O.F., and had as recently as the 19th inst. been with Mr John Shipton, Trustees of the Court Providence Juveniles Society of the same Order. The Police were of course communicated with, and an inquest will be held in the ordinary course. Mr Tipper's wife died in August 1897, but seven daughters and two sons are left to mourn his loss. At the morning service on Christmas Day the vicar, the Reverend W.S.Penley, in very feeling terms, referred to the tragic affair. It may be mentioned that Court Cumming has during the last four years lost three of its most valuable officers. Four year ago Mr George Brooks, who had held the post of secretary for 14 years, died in May 1897, Mr W. Hough, C.R., died, and Mr Tipper, who was then elected C.R., is now also dead.

!DEATH: "The Scropton Tragedy"
!DEATH: Mr F.C.Leech, the County Coroner, held an inquest at the Forester's Arms, Scropton on Tuesday, on the body of James Tipper, a farmer, who was killed while out shooting on Christmas Eve. Susannah Tipper, a daughter, said that on Saturday morning Mr Beck, a neighbouring farmer, who had been out shooting with her father, ran to the house and told her he had shot her father. She ran to the spot, and found deceased lying on the ground with his own gun under his right arm. She drew the gun from under him and threw it down again, when one barrel discharged close to Beck's feet. He was carried to the house and doctors were summoned. Thomas Beck was next called, and said that the deceased was a great friend of his. On the morning of Christmas Eve they went out shooting together. When near the Warren, Tipper proposed that they should shoot a bird that had alighted on a tree for a little boy who accompanied them. They were both in a stooping postion at the time, and when witness 'was in the act of raising his gun to his shoulder it discharged' Witness thought that the deceased must have raised his head at the time for he fell back with a wound to the back of his head. Witness added that the gun went off in a similar manner three years ago and he took it to a gunsmith to be repaired. He had used it on many occasions since, and thought it was safe. After the accident he had smashed the gun up completely on Tipper's kitchen floor. Medical evidence was then given as to the nature of the wound. Dr Wolfenden said a portion of the skull was blown away, and the brain was terribly lacerated. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death" and added that no blame could be attached to anyone.
