He immigrated to Canada in his late teens. When his father, Fred, died in 1906, his mother Sarah Elizabeth (nee Dawson) Hirst , and the rest of the family came to Canada also. I would really like to find out more about the genealogy on either and/or both sides of his family. My grandmother used to keep in touch with a cousin in England, but we have lost contact. I believe their last name was Chipp, but am not positive.
