CorrespondenceThe following are excerpts (due to space limits) from correspondence related to Temperley family research currently being conducted by Rony Worrix. Many thanks to Rony for constantly updating us with her research! From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au You aked about the Masons, this organization can lead one into becoming a Knight Templar. In times gone bye the leader of these Knights signed himself TEMPLI, TEMPLARI etc. by many our surname is thought to be a variation of this. THE STORY as it affects the Temperleys: In times of old warfare was almost continuos and as it is today, the cost of maintaining a national army was great, to reduce his costs the king contracted out the supply of troops to his best and richest supporters. Then to maintain their loyalty he gave such supporters a seat on his table of council, which enabled them to join with him in governing the country. In doing so the king maintained his sovereignty while gaining strong obligations of support from these men, in return he gave them the highest position he could think of, he made them Knights of the Realm, his defenders. This process worked so well that it was embraced with religious fervour, which cumulated in several Crusades to free the land of Christ from the Moslems. On one such Crusade about 1100 AD the Knight's Templars were founded after a victory, to protect pilgrims who wished to travel too and from the newly freed city of Jerusalem. These Knights were sworn to poverty but they grew rapidly in reputation and power, every ruler wanted his Knights to be accredited as Knight's Templar and many were prepared to pay for that honor. Soon the organization was rich beyond most kings, they ruled for the Pope as Papal mercenaries and controlled all the known world. Peace prevailed and education and religion exploded throughout Europe. To become a Knight in this order one must undergo an apprenticeship, as the theme of the times was the building of great castles and churches to provide employment, so such apprenticeships for future community leaders included the secrets of building structures, the secrets of community control as well as the secrets of warfare and religion. Secrets which today are no more than a detailed education. In 1305 King Philippe of France was heavily indebted to this order, and as the most influential Monarch of his time he arranged the death of two Popes until he could have his own candidate Clement V appointed. Upon his appointment Clement condemned the Knight's Templars and demanded their destruction. Throughout Europe under the guidance of Philippe they were slaughtered their temples burnt down and their treasuries looted, the Templars offered no resistance and the Shroud of Turin is often claimed to be the wrapping of their Grand Master who was crucified then burnt at the stake in Paris. In Europe only Scotland refused to follow such instructions, so the order continued there under the guidance of the Sinclair's (the St. Clares of France). Northern England in those days was part of Scotland and the two centers of the order appear to have been Rosslyn and Durham from that time. In 1688 Scotland and England were combining as one nation, under one king, while religion was stumbling block so was this old and out-dated Scottish ruling Order of Knights. When James the second abdicated and went to France many of his traditional Knights went with him, including one Henry Timperley, and some of his brothers. Also among them were the Radclyffes, the Earl of Derwentwater. In France the plans were made to try and re-establish the Stuart Kings, the order keen to re-establish themselves, so the Derwentwater's returned to Northumbria to unite the order at home, however they were finally defeated. Between the two Scottish rebellions the name Temperley appears throughtout Northumbria surrounding the Derwentwater estates, and under the guidance of one Charles Radclyffe the Masonic order is introduced in Paris (including the Knight Templar Chapter who's grand master signs himself Templi.) Radclyffe was eventually beheaded for his part in both the Stuart rebellions as the Masonic Order was introduced in America and England. Since then the Masonic Order has been regarded as a secret society, a closed brotherhood of the upper and middle classes, which was formed in the north England city of York, a sister chapter of Durham Cathedral. Hence it is apparent that the Timperley family fought in both the Stuart rebellions, no doubt spurred on by their disagreement with Queen Elizabeth and her Father, the name Temperley is no doubt a variation of that name. As Knights they would have been engrossed in the Knights Templars and as District Masters they would have signed themselves Templi accelerating the variation of the spellings. From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au Dear Rony, I am Alexander Temperley. I was born in Consett, Co Durham. Where both of my grandparents lived, they had thirteen children apiece. Until I was 12 years old I was the only grandson on both sides, so I was spoilt rotten among too many grand-daughters. I still remain the only one to carry the Temperley name from all those siblings, but with my son Neil and two grandsons Raymond and William the name look's safe for a while yet. Believe me at some stages this appeared to be my only purpose in life, so great was the demand from among the old families. Traditionally the families were all miners, farmers and iron and steel workers, with each generation eagerly going to war. My grandfather fought in the Boar and First World Wars, my father in the Second World War, both with reasonable distinction. I was too young for the Korean War so in the recent ambience of peace I had to search for my own adventure. After qualifying as a Mine Manager in the County Durham underground coal mines I immediately went with my young family to Central Africa, in 1964, to Northern Rhodesia ( now Zambia ) on the border with the Congo, a little place called Mufulira. There I mined Copper until 1970 and then moved to Australia. Here in Australia I tried Coal, Heavy Minerals and Civil Engineering, but the challenge of the African and the benefits of weather were missing. In 1979 I took up a position with Mitsubishi to operate a remote silica sand mine for them in the middle of a tropical aboriginal reserve. They were producing a mere 300,000 tonnes per year and as a keen fisherman it sounded like an ideal place to retire to. I've been there twenty years and have the pleasure of running the place without interference, I live and work in the tropics and on the Great Barrier Reef. The area is remote and only partially populated. From the mine the next house is 50 km. the next village 100 km. the first policeman and hospital 160 kms. and there are no roads between. We fly and ship every thing in, including people, we now produce 2.2 Million tonnes per annum and over half of our workforce are aboriginals, and I've never found time to go fishing! I enjoy it immensely, and Rony I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. Now to your family back ground. Nicholas Temperley, had two brothers George and William, three sisters Barbara Isabella and Maria. His Wife Eleanor Galloway. His Father, Cuthbert Temperley Born at Catton 9/6/1773 Died? Mother Isabella Robinson (nee Rowell) from Allendale, Cuthbert's second wife, they were married on 6/9/1802. Cuthbert had three brothers Nicholas George and John, Three sisters Elizabeth Barbara and Betty. His Father, George Temperley. Born at Fallowfield 26/3/1740 Buried 26/7/1780 at Allendale. Married Hannah White from Allendale 12/6/1766, she died 17/5/1791. George had six brothers John Nicholas Carr Thomas Matthew and William. Two sisters Elizabeth and Anne. His Father Nicholas Temperley Born 26/5/1715 at Fallowfield Died at Stublick, near Langley 13/4/1781. His wife Elizabeth, no details. Nicholas had three brothers Jake William and John, one sister Isabella. His Father George Temperley Born? Died 18/4/1733 Both at Fallowfield On 8/5/1707 He married Ann Errington of Fallowfield, she was born 21/6/1685. George had a brother Francis and a sister Elizabeth. His Father William Temperley Born approx 1645 Burried 20/7/1713 at Fallowfield. We can find no other information not even a wife's name. Hence the alignment with William Timperley, Baptised at Hintlesham 1667 and interred there in 1717. Baptism in this era was important, but only carried out when a visiting Bishop would oblige, and the four years for the Jacobites to return the remains to their original home is normal considering the prevailing conditions. While the connection is cloudy, a continuation of heredity family names such as Nicholas, Wiliam exists and the association with the Jacobite cause is not in doubt. The distance between Hintlesham and Fallowfield is great for that period and is considered to be compounding the lack of information available during the two rebellions. We have accepted these men as one and the same. Well Rony, that should keep you busy for a while, I have the Timperley data back to 1400, when you've finished with this we can follow you through them if you want to. No I have not contacted Mark, no time to get too involved at present, but I will when I have time, he is doing a mighty good job. Best regards From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au Dear Rony, Now it's my turn to look back into the Timperley history. Hexham, Haydon Bridge and Blanchland are fortified towns and villages on the upper reaches of the River Tyne and its tributary the Derwent River, all contain Temperley's in their grave-yards. Your side of the family comes from the next river south, the upper reaches of the River Wear. Between the two are Allendale and Alston, also centres for the Temperley families. Have you been there? These places are straight out of the story books, stone compounds with long histories of warfare dating back beyond the sixth century. Well you're certainly interested, My sister Olive is very similar, she lives a few miles from Bishop Auckland and Byers Green, she's already on the trail to search Byers Green so we should get something soon. As Graham said my father did all the research and he has spent the last few years in Bishop Auckland Hospital with a severe stroke, so I inherited the research work. A good deal of it is romanticised because the family fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie, after that war they were hunted by the English Red Coats, so they took to the Moors, the headwaters of the northern rivers where they defended a rather bleak countryside. The land was actually owned by the Bishop of Durham, who was also a supporter. The family became renowned throughout this almost barren Fells as miners and farmers. There is Temperley's forest at Chopwell, Temperley's Town changed its name to Templetown a hundred years ago, near Consett. In Hexam you have Temperley's Place, and the town square memorial fountain is the Temperley Memorial. The family was good friends with George Stephenson who invented the steam engine, the Rocket. With the collapse of steam technology the family went down with him. In Argentina their capital is made up of a number of cities and one of them is Temperley named after one of them who was a railway engineer. The original name of Timperley was associated with the Duke of Norfolk, several tines they were married to the line of Dukes daughters and on one occasion were his wards. In 1523 William Timperley married Margaret Howard, Her grand father was King Edward 1V ( all his sons were murdered in the Tower ). Her Aunt Elizabeth was forced to marry Henry V11 to end the War of the Roses. Her resultant cousin Henry V111 married two of her nieces Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard and he put both of them to death. After this they fought both him and his daughter, Elizabeth the first is renowned as the purge of the north, she attempted to depopulate the area for the support given to her half sister Mary Queen of Scots. Throughout this period each generation of Timperley's were convicted at some stage, of recusancy. Until in 1670 Henry Temperley was living openly as a courtier to James 11 at St. Germain in France Enough of the romance we'll see what truths we can find. Give me a fax number and I can send you some of the details. I have a photograph of a Joseph Temperley, but he was born in 1867 so I don't think he's much help, but maybe you can see a likeness. Best regards From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au Hi Rony The idea of using the Temperley name as an extention of the Timperley line, most definitely makes sense. Generally we have aligned the change in name with William Temperley approx 1645 to 1713 From Fallowfield. William Timperley 1667 approx until 1717 from Hintlesham. If you have read the history of Derwentwater, the only man to be beheaded for the first Jacobite Rebellion you will understand that the Jacobite supporters went to great lengths to return their comrades remains to their original homes. To carry this out safely the two burrial sites and the four year difference are not hard to understand. Well you probably have that information also, I must try surfing this web, it sounds great. Yes I agree with the amalgamation, please send me all the home page addresses. All the very best and thank you very much for asking. Nothing from my sister yet, but don't worry it will come soon. Best regards From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au Well Rony, now you've got me interested, You obviously come from one of our families, Byers Green is less than ten miles from where I was born and the Temperley are spread all through that area. Actually my name is Alexander Temperley, Alec for short, where we come from Alex is a girls name. However I've worked for many years for Mitsubishi and the Japanese have no translation for Alec, only Alex so I'm now accustomed to either. Unfortunately I can find only one Joseph Temperley who ties in and I have no follow up. I will give you the information I have, but I will also have someone visit Byers Green and see if we can get any more information. Joseph Temperley was born 1857 at Catton ( about ten miles west of Byers Green) and was part of the Catton and Allendale families. He had a brother George and a sister Maria. His Father was Nicholas Temperley Born 7/9/1805 at Catton. His mother Elernor Galloway from Peel on the Isle of Man died 8/1/1864. Does this prick any memories? I can follow this one back but I have no later information as he is not in our direct line. He is most probably also related to Graham's line. We will wait and find out what is available from Byers Green, if anything. All the best From: Alec Temperley atemperley(at)cfsm.com.au Rony, Pleased to meet you, I'm Alec Temperley, my father of the same name has researched the family back to the 14th century. As you can imagine, there are many William and Joseph's about the era you go back too, it would be a great help if we knew where in England they came from. We come from the north of England, the family fought for Bonny Prince Charlie and it was during that time that the original name of Timperley was changed. Prior to that we were associated with the Duke of Norfolk. As the name implies we were North folk even then. Our coat of arms was presented by the Black Prince during the second crusade, in which the majority of the Knights also came from the north. There are many Midland families to which we are related in antiquity but I have very little information on them. General information on the name etc. I have plenty. Give me a little more information if you can and I'll see what I can do for you. Best regards
