The photograph shows him in about 1875 with his father and sisters Emily Kipping (seated in the foreground) and Helena Kipping (on the right hand side).

The photograph was taken by his uncle Thomas George Whaite, who had married his mother's sister nee Elizabeth Ellen Du Val.

In 1881 he was living aged 14, together with his younger brother George Herbert Kipping aged 9, at Knutton Vicarage near Wolstanton in Staffordshire. He was described in the Census Return for that year as being a visitor, but he was probably studying there under the tutelage of the vicar, the Reverend Ezra Thompstone.

In 1891 he was with his widowed father, living at 396 Moss Lane East, Withington in Manchester.

He died in 1908 at Lancaster aged 41 years.
