Willym Dernely  (c.1516-)
From about May 1938, her married name was Furbur.
Dorothy Alice Dearnley
Note: 
 
Dorothy Dearnley was a brilliant organist whose skills encompassed the entire repertoire of the instrument from Daquin, through J.S.Bach, to the demanding and magnificent works of Olivier Messiaen.
She was organist in the Church of St Peter in Heswall Lower Village for many years (I think in the 1960s) and she had her own instrument at the Furbur home, "Willowcroft" in Rectory Lane a few steps from the church.

The organ in her home was a huge American two manual reed organ with pedalboard, bought for her by her husband Reginald and housed in a special wooden building in the garden of their home. It was a practice instrument but very powerful and required an electric blower which was housed in a small outbuilding.

The instrument in St Peter's was a modest instrument and did little to display her true ability. But all that changed when she accepted the post of Organist at Christ Church and St.Michael's in Claughton Birkenhead. This was around 1964-5 during the rectorship of Rev. Richard Harland.

The organ of this church was (and still is) famous. It was one of the finest "Father Willis" instruments in Great Britain. Three manuals and pedalboard and a sumptuous array of exotic timbres. A truly mighty Cathedral standard instrument. (Speaking of Cathedrals, we often wondered if she might be related to the famous organist of Salisbury & St.Paul's Cathedrals, Christopher Dearnley).*

She was also responsible for the training of the Church's boys and men's Choir, and she offered both piano and music theory lessons to the young singers in her care.
As an educationalist she was as charismatic as she most certainly was as an organist.

In addition to her post at Christ Church she also held a part-time post as organist of the Parish Church of St Nicholas in Liverpool where she often gave lunchtime recitals.
Periodically she also gave recitals on the organ of St George's Hall Liverpool.

Her choristers loved her for her kindness, her humility, her eccentric quirkiness, and most of all for the way she nurtured us as musicians and also as growing creative people.

Title: Seven Cheshire folk-songs: collected by Dorothy Dearnley, arranged by Freda Brislee
Author: Dorothy Dearnley;  Publisher: O.U.P., 1967
Subjects: Folk songs, English


Marco and Pedro 
A song about two grumbling farmers, collected on the Wirral. I was first introduced to Marco and Pedro by Matthew Edwards, who brought it with him to sing at the singaround in The Lion Tavern, Moorfields. ...

This song was collected by Dorothy Dearnley of Heswall (Cheshire) from the "late Mrs Stanley of New Ferry" and published in her book, Seven Cheshire Folk Songs, Oxford, 1967 with a piano accompaniment. Mrs Stanley also contributed a striking version of the ballad, The False Knight, but otherwise nothing seems to be known about her. I understand that Pete Coe and Roy Clinging have tried unsuccessfully to contact Dorothy Dearnley, whose married name was Furber.

There is an unreleased BBC recording of Dorothy Furbur singing 'The Grumbling Farmers' for Seamus Ennis on 5 June 1957 (RPL LP 23494), which suggests that Dorothy Furber probably collected the song some time in the early 1950's.

Dorothy Dearnley played the role of Pianist in The Dressmaker Film released in 1988 and a musician in Bread TV Series released in 1986.

Dorothy gave classical piano recitals in the late 1980s  (including a performance in Brimstage).

 
  

Death: 
Dorothy Alice Dearnley died on 29 August 2002 at Birkenhead R.D., Cheshire, England, at age 87 years, 8 months and 30 days 
  
 
Dorothy used 'Dorothy Dearnley' as her professional name & I believe that her death registration was under this name.
