Notes From Elsewhere

Samuel Timmins (born 1826,[1] died 12 November 1902) was a Shakespearean scholar and antiquarian. With the non-conformist preacher Rev. George Dawson he was a founder of The Shakespeare Club in the early 1860s. This club was set up to discuss William Shakespeare and soon led to the formation of a Shakespeare library in Birmingham Reference Library. The original contents of this library were lost in a fire during 1879. A new Shakespeare library was created within the new Reference Library built in 1881.
Samuel Timins died 12 November 1902 aged 76 years. He is buried in Key Hill Cemetery, Hockley, Birmingham, grave plot no 712 section K
