He married Annie Elizabeth Moore in July 1920, in Hunslet, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 1 son and 2 daughters. He lived in Yorkshire West Riding, England, United Kingdom in 1939. He died on 20 July 1963, in Cottingley, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, at the age of 63.
English (North and Yorkshire): perhaps a variant of Uppleby with an intrusive -m-. Uppleby may be from Middle English up in by ‘up in the village’ (i.e. at the top end), a name which is recorded in Haisthorpe (East Yorkshire) in 1297. The development to Uppiby and Uppilby can be seen in villages not far away, such as Seamer, Old Malton, New Malton, and Buckton. From East Yorkshire the name migrated to North Lincolnshire, on the Humber, and apparently to Yorkshire, where the presumed variant Umpleby is the only recorded form.
