Introduction

This webpage comprises the genealogical family tree of the Ampleforth 1 Line and then summarises the deeper ancestry of this line of the Farndales.

The Ampleforth 1 Line is a very large group of Farndales spanning the period from 1733 to the present day. 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, Yearsley.

Elias Farndale, the first generation of this line, founded the line of Ampleforth Farndales. The information about him is limited and we don’t have records of his birth, but we know that he married Elizabeth Raper in Thirsk. His son, also Elias, of the second generation, was baptised in Thirsk and by 1788 he was a Farmer of Wingate Farm and had three sons, William, Jethro and Elias, the 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, of the 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 Ambo, 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 Ambo. 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 Ambo, though he was invalided in his later years. There is a sixth generation descended from James, comprising ten children, who continued to live around Huttons Ambo 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 six 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 nine 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 Ampleforth Line of Farndales are a key hub in the family story.

A genealogical dilemma

It was Elias Farndale II (1755 to 1831) who settled in the lands around Yearsley. He was the son of Elias Farndale I (1733 to 1783) who married Elizabeth Raper of Topcliffe in Thirsk on 28 February 1754 and then lived in Thirsk. I have not been able to find a record of his birth, so I cannot be sure of his ancestry, which at first seems to leave this important section of the Farndales, with a gap in their ancestry.

Since the Ampleforth Line of Farndales emerged in the early eighteenth century in a region so close to the original family lands, it is tempting to deduce that this was a family who never left the Vale of York and were linked to our medieval history by unknown families who had continued to live in this area. However although we struggle with a birth record for Elias Farndale I, there are good parish records from the mid sixteenth century and it is obvious that by the end of the sixteenth century, the footprint of the family appeared almost entirely in Cleveland for two hundred years until the early eighteenth century. For that reason, it seems far more likely that this family moved back to the Vale of York, and before their arrival in Thirsk and then the Yearsley area, they had shared the family history with those who had settled in Cleveland.

Given the individuals who might have been candidates to have been parents of Elias Farndale I, it seems most probable that Elias Farndale I’s parents were William and Mary Farndale of Liverton and Brotton who were at Stainton near Middlesbrough in about 1725. It therefore seems most likely that the Ampleforth Line of Farndales trace their ancestry back through the Brotton 1 Line, who we met in Act 12 Scene 2 of the Family Story.
