But why is he referred to as a bachelor? Maybe the first marriage is incorrect.

Thearne is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in the civil parish of Woodmansey. It is situated approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-east of Beverley to the east of the A1174 road from Hull to Beverley. It also lies just to the west of the River Hull. The name 'Thearne' is a reference to the Thorn tree and was recorded as early as the late 13th century. A ferry east of Thearne across the River Hull dates to at least the 12th century. In the 15th century a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin was established. The chapel was confiscated during Henry VIII's suppression, and is no longer in existence. Flooding of the Beverley-Hull road led to orders for an improvement of the area's drainage in the 17th century. The land around Thearne was enclosed by and act of 1788. The Beverley and Barmston Drain was constructed through the area in around 1800, but does not actively drain Thearne. A windmill for corn, Thearne Windmill, south-west of the village on the Beverley-Hull road was constructed sometime around 1800. An earlier mill existed in the 17th century, the new mill had steam power installed in 1856.

In 1821 the population of Thearne was 90; by around 1833 the township had a population of 67. In the 1850s Thearne consisted of less than 10 main buildings, including Thearne Hall (built c. 1823). A Primitive Methodist chapel was built in 1867. Ferry Road led east to the River Hull where the ferry ('Waghen ferry' later 'Wawne Ferry') crossed to the Anchor Inn (later the Windham Arms), and to the road to Wawne.

There is a Report in the Hull Daily Mail on 9 December 1898 on page 4: Bridlington, Driffield, Sutton, Anlaby, Barrow, Hessle, Leven, Nafferton, and Sigglesthorne news on page 5 today. The sudden death occurred last night of Elias Farndale, 78, who resided with his daughter, Martha Cushings, at 57, Wassand street, Hull. The deceased, who died while sitting in a chair in the kitchen, had been suffering from a bad cold.

 

I’m not sure if this is him.
