I am trying to find information about a Rev Thomas Tiplady who I believe was born in the late 19th centuary in Gayle, near Hawes, N Yorks.
He became a Wesleyan Methodist minister and served between 1905 - 1954 when he became a supernumary.
I believe he spent some time in America and was also an Army chaplin.
Is he the same person as the Rev to whom you are related ?

I know of no relationship to Thomas (or any other Tiplady) but have a lot of ancestors from Lancashire and Yorkshire. I found Chaplain Tiplady's books from WWI and was fascinated by him. From some language in his THE CROSS AT THE FRONT I judge he had only a mother and wife (and a family dog but no chlildren, although he was 35 years) at his home in Lancashire when he was furloughed in 1918 to a hospital there.
It is clear from his THE GARDEN, etc., that he was born inYorkshire. Please share any information about his ancestors. I can be reached at knecht)_007@msn.com Thank you.

My grandfather Rev. William Sunter of Nelson Lancashire was a nephew to Rev Thomas Tiplady. My grandfather was influenced to become a Minister in the Methodist Church and came to Canada to retire in the United Church. My mother has many of Thomas Tiplady's original books and hymns. My great grandmother was Thomas Tiplady's sister and married a Sunter and lived in Nelson. Interesting to find this conversation on line as I was intersted in the Lambeth Walk and the work done by Thomas Tiplady and his writings.

The reason for my original post is that I live in Gayle in a house with a garden fronting the river. There are four other houses with a similar river frontage and I am trying to find out which would be the house described in the Rev Tiplady's book "The Garden by the River". Would your mother have any information which might give a clue as to its location? There is reference in the book to a mounting block but this would appear to have disappeared over the years. No one now living in the area is able to recall its position.
Of the other properties which might have been his home were, at some time in the last century, one was a butcher's shop, another a cobbler's and another was on a corner of a track leading down to the ford crossing the river.
My own property is on a small cobbled footpath called "Hargill"
I would be very interested in any information which would help in identifying Rev. Tiplady's child hood home in Gayle.

Very interesting story. I will ask my mother if she has any pictures of her grandmother in her childhood home(her grandmother as I mentioned was Jane Tiplady Thomas Tiplady's sister). Francis Tiplady (Thomas' father)and his wife Mary (nee Allan) moved his family to Lancashire to work in the cotton mills which Thomas hated and missed his garded in Gayle. It might be a clue for you. If so I could attach a scanned picture to help identify the home and garden. Interesting!I'll let you know.

Dear Beth, Sorry to be joining this thread so late, but I have only just discovered it. My mother was a SUNTER and I am doing a "One Name Study" of the SUNTER family of the Yorkshire Dales, so I am very interested in this conversation. In my database, I have a William SUNTER (1873 - 1958) who, in 1895, married Jane Elizabeth TIPLADY (1871 - 1941), in the Burnley registration district, which is near Nelson. They raised a daughter and two sons in Nelson and eventually died there. But I have William's birth in Swaledale and Jane's in Durham ! Is this the same couple? If so I had no idea that William became a Methodist minister. Please tell me more ! If you want to contact me direct, my email address is rick_mcg@tiscali.co.uk
Best wishes. Richard McGarry @ Eccles, Manchester.

Hi Ian, Sorry to be replying so late, to this thread, but I have only just found it. With regard to your quest to identify Thomas TIPLADY's house, at Gayle, I think you may find the censuses helpful. The enumerator normally listed the houses in the same order as he walked his patch - so if you can identify one house, it is often possible to identify the neighbouring houses. For example, the 1881 census for Gayle, has Schedule No 87 listed as "Hargill", then Nos 88 to 100 are all listed as "Garrice", then 101 to 104 are listed as "Gates". Frances Tiplady lived at No 92 ("Garrice") with his family. At No, 90 was a butcher., and at 91 was a grocer, so that gives a fair indication of the Tiplady house. Similar scrutiny of the 1871, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses should confirm your findings, even though the Tiplady family left Gayle c. 1885. As a current resident, you probably don't need Colin Day's excellent street map at
http://www.colinday.co.uk/maps/WensleydaleMaps/Gayle.pdf, but it shows the same houses as in 1881, with slightly different spelling of their names. Best wishes. Rick McGarry.

Richard:
Jane Elizabeth Tiplady was bap Dec 3rd 1871 at Burtersett dau of Francis Tiplady and Mary (Allen)
She was most likely born in the Darlington area, as in the 1871 census her father was living at 5 Cross Street Darlington
By 1881 the family was back in the Hawes area.
Who were the parents of this William Sunter ?
Thomas and Margaret or Isabella ?

my father's name William Raymond Gresty was the nephew of Thomas Tiplady. My grandmother was Ellen Tiplady. I have done a little research on the Tiplady ancestry.
