The Sipple Family Tree

If you're a Sipple, or are tracing the Sipple tree, please visit our discussion forum

It would seem that the roots of our part of the Sipple family started in Germany before 1840, when the name was Sippel.
The oldest connection we have is a farmer called George Sippel. His son Daniel came to the UK (probably via Hull), and settled in Walthamstow as a tailor.

Below is a list of a few of the names I'm looking for more information on. If you can help, please get in touch.

Jakob August Notscheid - Born 1840. A merchant, son of Wilhelm. Married Anna Lisette Grote in 1865, Whitechapel
William Notscheid - Son of Wilhelm, was a master tailor from Hull. Married Margaretha Catharina (Maria) Grote
George Sippel - Born Germany before 1850. Son Daniel George Sippel, born 1866
Gladys May Grounsell - Married in 1892 in Derby. Father: Edward Albert Grounsell. Sheffield / Derby connection
Henry Webster - Born 1818 in Surrey, and died in 1870 (Westminster). Worked at a hotel called The Colonnade, 20 Charles Street, St. James Square, London in the 1860s. Lived in Blue Cross Street, Leicester Square in the 1860s, and married Ann Elizabeth Price. Children were Agnes & Robert Price Webster.
William Eric Chadwick. Born May 1931 in Steade Street, Sheffield. Moved to Lymington Avenue, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex after the second world war. After attending Southend Municipal Art College, Eric worked as a designer for Carlis Ware Pottery makers, then completed Army National Service. After that, he worked for a firm in London in the drawing/design department. He then worked for Decca Navigator Company in New Malden (or Morden), Surrey. He emigrated to Australia in around 1954 or 1955, possibly to work for a company associated with Decca. Generally known as Eric (or sometimes Austin Chadwick), we've discovered that his school nickname was Cheese.
