Rev Hibbert Binney may have been an evangelical. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography of James Walton Nutting says that Nutting was part of a group, who were "influenced by two early evangelicals in Halifax, Hibbert Binney Sr and Isaac Temple." Rev Hibbert Binney's son was Rt Rev Hibbert Newton Binney who became the fourth bishop of Nova Scotia. The bishop was involved in the Oxford Movement, and was definitely not evangelical.
In 1823 Rev Hibbert Binney left for England.
In 1827, he was appointed Rector of Cold Hanworth, Lincs (see record) and vicar of Hackthorne, Lincs (see record).
He was minister of Trinity Chapel, Knightsbridge, London from 1833 (see Survey of London).
He became rector of Newbury, Berkshire from 1838 to 1857 (see rectors of Newbury).
There seems to be a discrepancy in the name of Rev. Hibbert Binney's wife. Most authorities say that she was Henrietta Amelia Stout, but the Genealogy (below) says that she was Henrietta Lavinia Stout. They agree on the date of the marriage.

The 1881 British census shows Charles H. Binney aged 34, born in Newfoundland St John. This must be the son of Charles Richard Binney and the grandson of Rev Hibbert Binney. He is described as a merchant, and had one son, Hibbert (another one!), and three daughters, Helen, Mary and Rose. He was a merchant. See his baptism record.
