1332
William Farnedale
of Shyrefhoton’s Will was proved on 13 Mar 1397/8. If
he was 65 at the time, then he was born about 1332 (York Wills).
1357
The Will refers to Juliana Farndale, his
wife. If he was 25 when he married then they married in about 1357.
1358
Richard Farndale, (FAR00044)
his son whom he makes his executor and therefore must have been of
mature age, and might have been born in about 1358, so he would be aged about
40 when his father died.
1359
Helen Farndale, (FAR00045) his daughter, might have been born in about 1359.
1361
Agnes Farndale, (FAR00046) his daughter,
might have been born in about 1361.
1370
On 7 May 1370, a pardon was granted to William
Farndale of the King’s suite at Caleys for the death
of John de Spaldyngton whereof he is indicted of any
consequent outlawry. The index states ‘Farndale, William of Calais.’.
If William was 38 at the time then this could be this William.
There is the following reference in the Patent Rolls, 7 May 1370, 44 Edward
III Part 1, page 393: May 7, Westminster. Pardon to
William Farndale of Caleys of the king’s suit for the
death of John de Spaldyngton, whereof he is indicted
or appealed, and of any consequent outlawry. By p.s.
The
index refers to Farndale, William of Calais. This is probably a different
William Farndale (see also FAR00047A), but it is not certain where Caleys is a reference to.
Was he being referred to as William
Farndale of Calais? Or was there a more local place called Caleys?
Sheriff
Hutton (Shyrefhoton)
