Early Origins of the Timperley family

The surname Timperley was first found in Cheshire at Timperleigh (Timperley), a township, in the parish of Bowdon, union of Altrincham, hundred of Bucklow. 1 The place name literally means "wood or clearing where timber is obtained" from the Old English word "timber" + "leah." 2
