- UPDATE 01 March 2007
Updated Comments, News and some member's email addresses. Changed all email addresses to a new format that will confuse most email address harvesting robots (no spam please!). To use a new format email address, remove all the spaces (if any) and replace the "(at)" with '@' and "(dot)" with a '.' so it is in a format similar to: name@address.org. Added one new family from Petawawa, Ontario..
- UPDATE 04 May 2006
Updated Comments, News and some member's email addresses. Added two new Timperley families from Lancaster and Warwickshire England. Added a new page for the district of Temperley, Buenos Aires Argentina.

- CORRECTION TO ACHIEVEMENT OF ARMS 11 Dec 2000
I've made a significant update to the Timperley Achievement of Arms page, which includes a correction to one of the coats of arms. Originally, I had shown one set of the Timperley of Timperley arms as a black lion with white spots (i.e. Gules, a lion rampant ermine) but with some gentle encouragement from Ken Baker kenvin.baker(at)virgin.net, I believe now that the actual arms were a black and white lion with black and white spots (i.e. Gules, a lion rampant ermine, ermines) as shown on the updated page. Thanks to Ken for pointing this out! - DEATH NOTICE 02 Dec 1999
Bernard Timperley regrets to inform us that his brother John, who maintained the Timperley of Burnley, Lancashire, England page, died on 2nd December 1999. If you have any wish to contact the Lancashire side of the Timperleys please contact Bernard at b.timperley10(at)ntlworld.com. He has kindly taken over responsibility for the web page. - REUNION 16-Aug-99
I recently attended the world-famous Timperley Reunion at Norfolk, Nebraska two weeks ago. 86 Timperleys showed up including an old Limey like me. I had never met any other Timperleys outside my immediate family before so you can imagine how amazed I was. Check out this photo taken on the evening of the reunion.

Bessie (Timperley) BOND passed away in her sleep in a nursing home on June 1, 1999. She lived a very long and happy life. I am really glad I had the opportunity to visit her recently. I gave her the web page that you constructed and she was very, very pleased. I also gave her all of your web page on the history of the name and the different families. John E.Timperley rotman80(at)xcelco.on.ca - COUSIN FOUND! 18 Mar 1999
After reading the news and comments file, I was reading a comment from Barbara Timperley from Jasper, Alberta and as you know we had relatives out there that returned to the Alberta area of Canada around 1942. John Edward Timperley(1911-1942) killed in Sarnia, had a wife of whom he married from the Byemoore area of Alberta. After John was killed by a freak accident, his wife Betty and his 2 sons (Joe and Thomas) moved back to that area. Although, from time to time,our family had contact with them, over time we slowly lost touch with them. Anyway after reading her comment I felt that it may be a long shot but maybe she had connections. So I e-mailed her and gave info.on my family and she mailed me back with excitement and discovered we were related. I had no idea I had her as a cousin. Thanks to the data we have found a lost connection.

I have finally updated our web site. I can't believe it's been almost a year since the last update. Sorry for the long delay. Hopefully, maintaining the site will be easier now that I'm using different software. Thanks to everyone for all the new information. It's got a new look too and should be easier to navigate. Hope you like it. I finally corrected the spelling for December on the home page...why didn't anyone tell me! NOTE: You will probably need version 3 of I.E. or Netscape to view everything correctly. - BIRTH 28 Feb 1999
Here is a picture of the new addition to the Temperly family: Tyler Richard Temperly, born in December 1998. Also, a family photo with Chuck, Teresa and Tyler. Chuck is the son of Charles Douglas Temperly from Hazel Green, Wisconsin. CKTEMP0214(at)aol.com
- WEB SITE UPDATE 6-Apr-98
I received the news (below) about a death in our extended family, so I thought I should publish this next edition of the web site as soon as possible. I've received a lot of great information from many people (Thanks everyone!) and I'm struggling to get it all in. Besides the regular updates I'm preparing several pages for R. H. Timperley of Queensland who sent a great deal of his book called "Heroes Galore". Hopefully this will all be done soon. - DEATH NOTICE 27-Mar-98
It is with regret I wish to advise that my friend Alan Timperley passed away 13/3/98. He died peacefully in his sleep from suspected heart failure. I know he was very interested in the Timperley genealogy and that he visited your page often to see what updates there were. I am pleased to see his name listed with special thanks and hope that it will remain there in his memory. He was a good mate to me and will be missed. regards ...

Darrin and Stacy Grewek here, daughter of Clayton and Sharon Timperley. We were just on the net today and noticed that you have something new on your web page. Well here is something that you can put on it! This is a picture taken at the cousins picnic on Saturday, last year ('97). This is a picture of the Dean Timperley family. I'm hoping that I can get for you the other pictures taken that day too. But for now this is all I have. We will write soon and hopefully have some more pictures!

Wow, it's now October, where does the time go? I'm posting the update now even though I still have a wealth of Genealogy Lost and Found families to put on the site. I figure if I don't post soon, it might be months more before I'm done! Unfortunately my OCR software cannot read the table format that my information is in, so I have to enter it by hand. Sorry about the long delay on the update, especially for those who have submitted data to me for posting. Two more families join us on the web and their pages have been added to our growing collection, thanks to Stephen Timperley and Rony Lorraine Worrix. Some family pages have been updated with new or corrected information. The Genealogy Lost and Found section has been increased substantially. Another book has been added to the reference section. The background graphic has changed to a parchment type look. - WEB SITE UPDATE 27-Mar-1997
New in this addition: more history on the town of Timperley, with maps and photos, more ancient history of the Mascy/Timperley connection of 1270, additional history and archaeological findings on Timperley Hall, a new Lost and Found section for genealogy and three more family genealogies from Altrincham and Hampton Wick, England and New South Wales Australia. Thanks to Julie Englert, John Timperley and David Timperley. Plus my own family has grown a little with the birth of Harrison Edwin Timperley in March! His cute picture is on my page, Timperley of East Greenwich. Follow the yellow "new" bullets from the home page to find the new stuff, although some of the links are buried in the text and don't have new bullets, so read carefully!
