Chas. Shipley of Twyford House, co. Hants. He entered the Navy in 1837; and as a reward for having passed the best examination at the Royal Navy College, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant 28 June 1845. His name ceases to appear in the Navy List of Officers after 1855. He was aboard the H.M.S. Bulldog, commanded by Sir Francis McClintock, in 1860 in which he travelled from England to Canada via Greenland. He seems also to have come to Canada, aboard the H.M.S. Crocodile, to Halifax and Quebec City, in 1841. He died at Twyford Moors near Winchester on March 29, 1888.
