1759

 

Frances Farndale, a quadruplet and daughter of Francis Farndale (FAR00135), was baptised at Whitby on 3 September 1759 (Whitby PR & IGI).

 

1786

William Farndale (FAR00207), “illeg” son of Frances Farndale was baptised at Whitby on 13 May 1786. He died at birth.

 

1789

Francis Farndale (FAR00212A), “illeg” son of Frances Farndale, was baptised at Whitby on 2 May 1789.

 

Margaret Farndale (FAR00213), “illeg” daughter of Frances Farndale, was baptised at Whitby on 16 Jul 1789. She died aged one.

 

It doesn’t make sense that she had two children who were not twins born so close together – I wonder if Francis is in fact the Francis Farndale (FAR00206) who was the son of her brother Thomas Farndale (FAR00182).

I think Frances probably had two children out of wedlock, William and Margaret, who both died at birth or very young.

1791

Frances Farndale married Robert Heselton, at Whitby on 26 July 1791.
