Name	Timothy Furbert Wilkinson
	Timothy Fubert Wilkinson is a prime example of the mother's surname (maiden, family name) being used as a second name for her son. This gets interesting as the name spelling changes throughout the research. Timothy Fawbert Wilkinson was baptised 10 Oct 1849. The record doesn't give birth date but it's believed to have been 1843 on 1881 census. He was the son of William Wilkinson and Nancy FAUBOT. Timothy married Hannah Mathews in 1867 and he died in 1903, Nancy FAWBOT was baptised 7 May 1817 the daughter of Timothy FAWBERT and Maria Rodley who married 21 Mar 1810 Bradford Yorks. Timothy FAWBERT was baptised 18 Jun 1788 son of John FAWBERT and Ann Gibson, married 24 Jan 1777. They had many children and John must have had brothers because many children were found in this period to about 3 separate pairs of parents. Too numerous to add here. but with 2 of John and Ann's children, their surnames were spelt FAWBERD. One poor child was named Pharoah Fawbert!!! John FAWBERT was baptised 13 Mar 1751 son of James FAWBERT and Elizabeth Winterbourne married 11 Feb 1747. Found 4 children to them. James FAWBERT was born about 1725 but couldn't find him in Yorkshire and there were only 3 results and found a James FURBER baptised 30 Jun 1723 son of Robert FURBER but in Somerset. It now becomes a little uncertain because the only Robert FURBER found was a Robert FORBER baptised in Norfolk in 1685, He was son of a John FORCER who married Alice Noble in Durham! Looking for John's birth there is one possibility of a John FAWBER born 10 Jan 1655 and we are back in Yorkshire now. It is too confusing to go farther back but the interesting thing here to note when trying to go back further was that surnames like Fairber, Fairbere and Fairbeard were found but not possible to connect to this research. Sheila 20 Nov 2017 I'm wondering if there is sufficient difference between Ferberd and Faubot and its successors for us to discount this as a true version of Ferberd. What do you think? Paul 20 Nov 2017 In answer to your message. It could well be the original format of Ferberd, especially as the name changes spelling so much in the research that we get Fawberd etc. It comes down again to interpretation of accents and spelling doesn't it so it's hard to be sure. Sheila 20 Nov 2017 So the jury remains out on this one. However, if Faubout was to turn out to be the original spelling of the word or another variant then, with all the prior generations and spellings, there would be a few more people to add to the Ferberd Tree!
