Morris Timperley was the husband of my greataunt Mary Ann Marshall I believe they were married in Feb 1914 in Chorley (Alderley Edge) in the parish of St. Philip and had 3 children: George, Winnie and Cathleen. His parents were John Morris Timperley (born 1861) and Harriet (born 1867). Can you offer any further information about this part of my family? I am happy to exchange what know. Peter A.

I stumbled across your website by chance and found it very interesting. I even learned a few things. Although not a Timperley myself i do have a strong association with the name as i grew up in Timperley itself next to Timperley Lodge. The name itself is so unique it does indeed seem that all the Timperleys scattered around the world must have originated from this quiet and unassuming town. How did i discover your site? Well, having just recently come across someone called Timperley for the first time in my life, i wondered where all the Timperleys live. Check out the link below and you'll see that the highest concentration in the UK is is nearby Stockport. Interestingly the telephone directory for the Altincham area lists only three Timperleys and none of them actually live in Timperley itself! Nebraska has the highest consentration in the USA. I was in Omaha, NE some years ago and never imagined there would be lots of people living there with the surname Timperley!! Link to surname site http://cetl2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/UCLnames/Surnames.aspx
Anyway good luck with your project. PS - Of possible fleeting interest to you there have been several famous resident of Timperley over the years including amongst others Alan Turing, father of computer science and the man who decoded the German enigma code thereby helping to win WWII.Regards Paul Lyons, Var, France pierrick(at)iwon.com
