I have a picture of "Charlie Shipton" in a Canadian Military uniform. He is "blowing a horn". I would like any information on this man. There are two Charles Shiptons listen on the Canadian Expeditionary Force pages. One born April 7, 1876 in London England who was married to Elizabeth. He had tattoos on both forearms. He signed up in Coronation, Alberta March 1916. The other is possible his son Charles Thomas Shipton born Jan 16, 1897 in London England. His next of kin is listed as Charles Shipton, father. He also signed up in Coronation, Alberta about 1918. The address for both men is listed as Ensleigh, Alberta. I don't know if the picture is of either of these men. Any help in identifying Charlie Shipton would be appreciated.

The finding aids and indexes (not on line) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists some 16 Shipton names.

Those that are buried in the Castor and area Cemeteries have been recorded by members of the Society and is available from the Society as Publication #2068.

You can find a link to the AGS Edmonton Branch that has a Research Group that may be able to give you further information.

I have only now become aware of your query on the Ancestry.co.uk website. Have you found any one from the Castor Shipton family yet? If not I would dearly love to have a copy of the picture of Charlie Shipton. His father Charles was my grandmother's brother. I live near Castor and could probably find more info. I also have a copy of Charlie's enlistment papers.

My name is Chris Reynolds, and I am related to the Shiptons from the Castor area. My email address is mtycamel@hotmail.com if you would like to make contact and share family info. My great grandparents are Charles and Elizabeth Shipton who were laid to rest in the Castor Cemetary. I am currently working in the Hanna area. When I was a pre-schooler, we visited the Shipton farm north and east of Castor somewhere near the Battle River 9around 1963). The farm was the original homstead, and was being operated by Bill Shipton who was my father's uncle direct uncle
