Title: Rev. William Telfer
Post by: M Carter on Friday 26 April 19 16:56 BST (UK)

Has anyone information about the Rev. William Telfer he died 4 May 1884 at Sellafirth, North Yell.
His death cert. does not give his parents but they were John Telfer and Mary Mair.   William was born 5 Aug 1795 at Wheathaugh, Castleton. Liddesdale.   He was the oldest brother of my gt.gt. grandfather.
By becoming a Ch. of Scotland minister and going to Shetland he could not have moved further from his family in the Borders.
