5. Rose BAGGE [11646] (James (Rev.)3, James2, James (Rev.)1) was born about 1828.

Noted events in her life were:

• Immigration: 1865, Canada.

Rose married Charles Augustus SIPPI [11652] [MRIN: 5133], son of Charles Augustus SIPPI [26630] and Elizabeth JOHN [26631], 03 Oct 1865 in Temple Michael Waterford Ireland. Charles was born 25 Jul 1844 in Hyderbad Sind India, died in London Ontario Canada, and was buried in London Ontario Canada.

General Notes:Charles (born in 1844) was a medical doctor who practiced medicine for two years in a small community on Lake Erie called Port Stanley. My mother has an essay written about him that states that he left the medical profession to teach classics, English and physiology at Hellmuth College (today the University of Western Ontario in London Ontario). He loved music and was recognized for his musical ability as was his brother George. I believe I am right when I remember that Charles was the soloist and George the organist and choir master but I may have them switched. (George was also born in East India – Rajkoot, Bombay on March 10, 1847.) I don’t know whether there were any more siblings.
