1881 Census: Harold was probably living with his Aunt Catherine, widow of Henry Edward Fripp MD, listed as Harold T. Fripp.
NOTE: Harold's half brother, Percy probably arrived in Canada between 1861-1871, then returned to England by 1884, when he married his wife in Bristol. He then appears to have returned to Canada before 1891, taking Harold with him. Percy then returned to England in 1899 to be with his wife, where he died in 1929.
Info from Website: http://home.primus.ca/~lstitt/s_chris.htm#BECK & http://home.primus.ca/~lstitt/s_chris.htm#TUMBLEThe article refers to the opening of a newly renovated "Tumble Inn" on 25 July 1992 at the Village of Kenosee Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. The opening was attended by over 300 people including Harold Beck who's grandfather, Harold Fripp (half brother of Percy), built the original log cabin in 1895/6.....
At the Tumble Inn opening, Mr. Beck gave the history of Harold and Percy Fripp:
"My grandfather, Harold Fripp, and his brother, Percy Fripp (Percy was known as old Fripp) came to Canada from England. Harold Fripp was born in Bristol, England in 1873. He immigrated to Canada and in 1895-96 he built the first log cabin at Fish Lake which is now Kenosee Lake."The cabin was 20' x 12'. The logs were cut on site a short distance N.E. of the original site of Tumble Inn. The following year Harold helped his brother build a beautiful log cabin on LSD 7,24-10 at Fish Lake.
"In 1899 Percy left and sold his cabin to Fred Christopher. Mr Christopher built on the north side of this cabin which then became the first hotel at Fish Lake. In 1887 Harold Fripp had applied for a homestead but did not receive the patent for his land until 1897, namely SE36,9-1-W2 which is now in the RM of the Moose Mountain #63.
Harold Fripp was a professional carpenter and while he waited for his homestead patent he built many homes in the Cannington Manor District. "He also became one of the flour millers at Cannington Manor and in 1893 Harold sent a sample of his flour to the Chicago World's Fair and won the gold medal for the finest flour.
"While at Fish Lake, Harold and Percy met Mr McNaughton and his sons, Andrew and Murray from Moosomin. Later Andrew became General McNaughton in the Canadian Forces. An agreement was made among Harold and Percy Fripp and Fred Christopher to cut a road from Fish Lake east. Harold and Percy Fripp cut three miles from Fish Lake west to east. Mr. Christopher and his three sons cut four miles from east to west, which became the Christopher Trail as it's known today.
"My brother, Ron Beck, owns and farms the over 100 year old homestead today. My parents, Thomas Beck and Ethel Fripp Beck live on the homestead with Ron. My mother has lived on the homestead most of her life. My wife and I own the second quarter section that my grandfather acquired later and some day it will become wildlife land. I regret that I never knew my grandfather, as he died at the age of 47 on Feb 7, 1920 at Cannington Manor after suffering a stroke."

Family notes:
Thomas had grandchildren born in the 1930's
Thomas W. Fripp was born March 23, 1864 in London, England. In 1893 he left Britain to settle in British Columbia. The subject of Fripp's art. Two strains of influence shaped the artist's development. Fripp was born into a family bound to the academic tradition. Fripp's grandfather, Nicholas Pocock, founded the Royal Watercolour Society. His brother, Charles Fripp was a watercolourist, whom also moved to Canada. Charles Edwin painted scenes of the Klondike gold rush and the lives of natives in Canada. Their father, George A. Fripp was a watercolourist who studied art with his son Thomas in London. The British tradition of watercolour painting consisted largely of landscape subject matter. The style was highly constructed and academic. Fripp's adherence to this form of painting seems logical considering his family's support of the style. Growing up and studying within the British culture seems to have been the greatest influence on his work. During this time, the prevailing style was academic, and centered around polite society. Writing, poetry, philosophy, and art were focused around aesthetics, and the moral effects such arts had on society. Fripp studied at St. John's Wood Art School and the Royal Academy School in London, from 1883 to 1890, and hence was conscious of British landscape painting styles and ideals.Fripp immigrated to Vancouver British Columbia in 1893 determined to transform the rugged countryside into farm land, pursuing life as a farmer on the frontier as opposed to an artist on the frontier. He had persisted until 1904 when an accident prohibited him from farming and forced him into returning to water colour painting on a permanent basis. Stave 1906 was created shortly thereafter. He primarily concentrated on the British Columbian landscape- executing numerous scenes of the rocky mountains as well as views of the land. Fripp was one of the principle founders of the British Columbia Society of Artists in 1908 and served as its president for many years. He was active in the arts for nearly thirty years until his death in Victoria in 1931.

From Princeton MuseumThomas W. Fripp was born in London, England in 1864, the 12th son of George Arthur Fripp, a painter for Queen Victoria. Young Tom studied are in Venice, Florence and Sienna before finally returning to England where he enrolled in the Royal Academy in 1867 to continue his studies in watercolors, doing landscapes.
He moved to Quebec in 1893 and eventually to Hatzic, BC, where he became the cultural focus of his home town. He worked in Vancouver for 2 years, where his groqing reputation as an artist who was enhanced by winning a Gold Medal for portraits in 1905. He taught art in the Crafton House, a private school for girls.
Tom Fripp and a small band of individuals formed the BC Society of Fine Arts and received their charter in 1909. They were the first charted art society in BC. He started, promoted and nurtured most of the significant art organizations and institutions in the province. It was stated in 1920 that Tom Fripp had probably done more for the cause of art in Vancouver than any other man.
Tom Fripp had relatives living in Tulameen and used to visit there often, as a result he had connections to Princeton and this part of BC.
