Timmy Feather Stanbury + MI's in Haworth

[Admin]

Written by Margaret Barrett on Jul. 18, 2007

I am researching the family of Timothy Feather of Stanbury. I discovered a web site giving the details of Section "D" of know Feather inscriptions in St Michael & All Angels Parish Church, Haworth but unfortunately I can't find it again. Can anyone tell me how to find it?

Hello Margaret

On the main website www.keighleyhistory.org.uk if you go to the bottom of the Index and look for Haworth MI's, I think this is the link you had lost.

Hope this helps.

Hello Jan,
This response is really just for Margaret Barret, who posted a request for info on Timmy Feather on 18Jul2007, but I'm replying way so that anybody else can read it , and I hope, benefit from it. My father copied it from the Keighley News of 10 December 1910. Can you pass it on to her, or shall I do the honours.

You do the honours, whilst I go and look for the picture I have of Timmy Feather's last journey....................

It may be on my laptop......so hang around.

Thanks for the info as well, how fascinating is that.

Timmy Feathers old house..........isn't it the one now known as 'Wildfell' at Buckley Green. The B&B at Buckley rigourously claim that their house is old Timmys but they seem to have it wrong ..surely.
