The
Story of the Ampleforth 1 Line
The Ampleforth 1 Line is a very large group of Farndales spanning the period from 1733 to the present day. At the present time I have been unable to trace this line back to older lines of Farndales. With more research I may yet find the link to the direct Farndale history back to 1512. It is quite possible that Elias will be linked to Farndales in other lines, and I am sure that all those using the Farndale name, are linked to the early family lines, such as the Kirkleatham Skelton Line, the Liverton 2 Line, the early part of the Kilton 1 Line, and the Kilton 2 Line. I am also sure that all Farndales will share in the medieval ancestry which is described in Volume 1 of the Farndale Directory.
What we know for certain is that this line of Farndales originated with a family who moved to the Coxwold area, near Ampleforth, farming at Windgate Hill Farm, perhaps Wildon Hill Farm today.
Elias Farndale (first generation of this line) founded the line of Ampleforth Farndales. I don’t yet know much about him, except that he married Elizabeth Raper in Thirsk. His son, also Elias (second generation), was baptised in Thirsk and by 1788 he was a Farmer of Wingate Farm who had three sons, William, Jethro and Elias (third generation).
Third generation William and Elias seem to have moved from the Ampleforth area to the east of York and the area of Bishop Wilton and Pocklington. William was founder of the Bishop Wilton Line, who lived in that area, but also branched off to live more widely including Bradford and London. Elias’ son who was yet another Elias, eventually moved to the area around Hull.
Third generation Jethro and his family continued to live in the Coxwold area and it is his descendants who make up the later Ampleforth line, which stretches to the present day. Of Jethro’s six children, his first son William Farndale (fourth generation), married Bessy Langdale and was a farm worker and licensed hawker. He moved with his family a short distance to the Malton area and became particularly associated with the village of Huttons Ambro, which sits in a bow of the River Derwent.
William had a large family of 13, the fifth generation. This was a Victorian generation, who generally lived in or around Huttons Ambro. Of this fifth generation family there are two who are the ancestors of two lines of Farndales living today.
James Farndale in the fifth generation married Elizabeth Shepherdson and was a gardener and postman in Huttons Ambro, though he was invalided in his later years. There is a sixth generation descended from James (10 children) who continued to live around Huttons Ambro and some served in the first world war. Some of his descendants (the seventh generation) left Yorkshire. Some settled in London and two emigrated to Australia. One of these starred in the Mad Max films.
Thomas Farndale in the fifth generation married Sarah Pugh. We have more information about this family and many photographs. Thomas became a stocksman, living at Headlam, near Barnard Castle. Thomas had 6 children (his part of the sixth generation). Of this sixth generation, James Farndale served in both World Wars working in animal husbandry. Perhaps we can imagine him through modern depictions of War Horse. James Farndale of the sixth generation married Mary Fairburn and had 9 children (the seventh generation). This generation is perhaps most closely associated with the Thornaby area, now on the outskirts of Middlesbrough. Of this generation Clifford Farndale emigrated to Australia (the Australia 2 Line) and there are several of his descendants in South Australia today, many around Adelaide. Keith Farndale founded the Thornaby Line and is father of grandfather of a large family many of whom live in the Stockton on Tees area. The other members of this generation are the fathers and grandfathers of Ampleforth Line Farndales who live today.

The Ancestry of the
Ampleforth 1 Line
At the present time I have been unable to trace this line back to older lines of Farndales. With more research I may yet find the link to the direct Farndale history back to 1512. It seems likely that Elias will be linked to Farndales in other lines, and I am sure that all those using the Farndale name, are linked to the early family lines, such as the Kirkleatham Skelton Line, the Liverton 2 Line, the early part of the Kilton 1 Line, and the Kilton 2 Line. I am also sure that all Farndales will share in the medieval ancestry which is described in Volume 1 of the Farndale Directory.
Chronology of the Ampleforth 1 Line
First and Second Generation
|
In or about 1733 |
Elias Farndale the Elder was born. |
|
28 February 1753 |
Elias the Elder married Elizabeth Raper in the
Thirsk area. |
|
16 July 1755 |
Elias the Younger was baptised. |
|
1783 |
Elias the Elder died. |
|
14 June 1785 |
Elias Farnill married Dorothy Heseltine at
Ampleforth. |
|
1788 |
Elias the Younger and Dorothy lived at Windgate
Farm. This may be in the area of the present Windyridge Farm in Yearsley.
|
|
1798 |
A Land Tax of £1 11s 6d was paid for land owned by
Mr Fairfax and occupied by Elias Farndale at Yearsley, near Ampleforth. |
|
22 August 1830 |
Elias the Younger was buried at Stillingfleet (south
of York). |
So the first and second generation were mostly
associated with Windgate Hill Farm near Coxwold in the Ampleforth area. Elias
the Younger died at Stillingfleet, south of York.
Third Generation
|
21 September 1788 |
William Farndale was born at Windgate Hill Farm,
Coxwold. For William’s descendants, see the Bishop Wilton
Line. |
|
12 December 1790 |
Jethro Farndale was born in the Ampleforth area. |
|
17 February 1793 |
Elias (Elisha) Farndale was born in the Ampleforth
area. |
|
About 1815 |
William Farndale married Margaret. Elias Farndale married Jane. |
|
29 July 1822 |
Jethro Farndale married Alice Clarke at Coxwold. |
|
By 1841 |
William Farndale had moved to Bishop Wilton, east of
York, where he was an agricultural labourer. Jethro Farndale continued to work at Coxwold as an
agricultural labourer. He was later described as a farmer. Elias (Elisha) Farndale had also moved east to
Bishop Wilton, where he also worked as an agricultural labourer. |
|
By 1861 |
Elias (Elisha) Farndale had died. |
|
1871 |
William Farndale died in the Pocklington area, near
Bishop Wilton. |
|
1882 |
Jethro Farndale died in the Easingwold area (ie
probably still in or around Coxwold). |
The three sons of the third generation all worked as
agricultural labourers. Jethro may have farmed for himself later on in the
Coxwold area. William and Elias (Elisha) appear to have left the Coxwold area
and moved east to the Bishop Wilton area. Jethro continued to work in the
Coxwold area through his life, though his son William would also move east to
Huttons Ambo. So the association with Coxwold and Ampleforth continued, but
there began the association of this family with the area around Bishop Wilton,
and, later, the village of Huttons Ambo.
Fourth Generation
|
6 January 1816 |
William Farndale, son of Elias, was baptised at
Ampleforth. William was an agricultural labourer who married Ann Wilson in
1843. He died in Scarborough in 1887. |
|
In or about 1818 |
George Farndale, son of Elias, was born. George
married May Milner, and they had a daughter Mary, but George died of typhus
fever in 1844. |
|
16 March 1820 |
Anne Farndale, daughter of Elias, was baptised at
Oswaldkirk, east of Ampleforth. She seems to have had a son, Richard, out of
marriage, and died in 1886. |
|
In or about 1824 |
Elias Farndale, son of Elias, was born. He married
Mary Ann Carling and they had four children. He died in 1898. |
|
27 December 1824 |
William Farndale, son of Jethro, was baptised in
Coxwold. |
|
17 October 1826 |
John Farndale, son of Jethro, was baptised in

By 1851 |
William Farndale was a licensed hawker in and around
Barton le Street, near Malton. In 1851 the population of Malton was 7,661 and there
were 1,545 houses, so an average of 5 people in each house though the average
could of course vary. A quarter of the deaths were caused by 'zymotic
diseases' (fevers and contagious diseases (e.g. typhus and typhoid fevers,
smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, cholera, diphtheria etc.)
Medical opinion considered the incidence of fever was due to stagnant refuse
near and within houses, and to the general filthy state of streets, lanes,
courts and yards which were without proper sewers and drains. The larger
portion of the population lived in small houses, having no drainage, and
imperfect means of ventilation. The water supply was from pumps and wells,
carried to the place of use, and which was often stored in open vessels in
living rooms where it became 'tainted by absorbing gases of decomposition.'
In parts the town was overcrowded. There were courts of cottages, entered by
covered passages, in which privies, cesspools, and pigsties had been improperly
placed. Some old houses are thatched; the greatest number are covered with
red tiles; a few of the newer houses are slated. Most of the old homes are
built of wall stone limewashed externally. The living rooms are small and
low; the bedrooms are very low, the roofs spring from the side walls some
three feet above the floor. Many rooms are let off in separate tenements. The
streets are partially formed of broken stone, with paved channels; some are
boulder-paved, refuse and slop water drainage from the courts and houses
flowing on to the streets, and over the surface. Large ash-middens, privies,
and cesspools are crowded amidst dwelling-houses, beneath room windows, and
even underneath sleeping rooms. Rent for houses of two rooms range from £3 to
£4 and 2s3d a quarter rates. |

1894 due to congestion of the lings caused by his long time in a hospital bed
after the accident. |
