I don't see his birth record.

In 1871 there is an Isaac Hanis, 47, with Mary Hanis, 49 and Grandson James J Tippett, possibly the illegitimate son of daughter Jane?

In 1851 Mary is said to be married.

But she could well have been separated or widowed.

Possible second marriage ???

Yes. Without a doubt.

Thank you very much for this. One eliminated!

Loss of the British Ship Romance of the Lee. Her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Alexandria has forwarded a despatch to the Board of Trade, announcing the total loss of the brig Romance of the Lee, Captain G. Havelock, belonging to Cork,
07 April 1860 - Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury - Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland

This mentions James Tippett, apprentice as one of the deceased.
The brig was bound for Falmouth.


From the report of William Husband, one of the survivors.

Capt Havelock, master; Mr. W.H. Ireton, mate : Simon Byrne, cook and steward ; William Carson and William Irvine, seamen; and James Tippett, boy.
11 April 1860 - The Cornish Telegraph - Penzance, Cornwall, England

I would think this is definitely not the correct person.

Serious fears are entertained that the well known American clipper ship Romance of the Seas, which has often been to the Thames, has foundered, with all on board. She sailed from Hong Kong on the 31st of December, since which time not the least tidings has been heard of her. The Romance of the Seas was one of the crack ships of Boston, and has made many successful trips from China. She was about 1,500 tons burden, and was largely insured.

05 July 1863 - Weekly Dispatch (London) - London, London, England

It was via the newspaper archive. I'm like you - hard to believe he would be an apprentice at that age.

What record did you find saying that the man who died in 1860 was an apprentice?

Thank you very much for the twin find.

Can't find anything on Google about the Romance of the Seas.

I wonder if this is supposed to be her - though the date is given here as 5th Feb 1860:

Romance of the Lee United Kingdom The ship was driven ashore and wrecked 200 nautical miles (370 km) west of Alexandria, Egypt with the loss of all but two of her crew. She was on a voyage from Constantinople, Ottoman Empire to an English port.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shipwrecks_in_February_1860

On looking at the death record again, the name of the ship does look like Romance of the Lee - or possibly Sea.
There's certainly no "s" at the end of the word.
