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 Coxwold. John was a cordwainer (a shoe maker) who moved to Leeds and founded the Leeds 1 Line.
17 October 1827	Mary Farndale, daughter of Jethro, was baptised at Coxwold. Mary died on 14 June 1853.
17 April 1829	Elias Farndale, son of Jethro, was baptised in Coxwold.
15 October 1831	Alice Farndale, daughter of Jethro, was baptised at Crayke, now 10km south of Coxwold. She married William Simpson, a widower and farer of Yearsley.
20 November 1833	John Farndale, son of Elias, was baptised at Bishop Wilton. John became a general labourer and lived with the family of a publican. He died in 1894 after an accident when he fell off his horse.
18 March 1834	Elizabeth Farndale, daughter of Jethro, was baptised at Coxwold. She died at the age of 21 in 1855.
10 July 1836	Dorothy Farndale, daughter of Elias (Elisha), was baptised at Bishop Wilton.
24 July 1847	William Farndale married Bessy Langdale, who was a dressmaker when she married, at Barton le Street, near Malton.
20 October 1849	A cricket match at Yearsley, with two Farndales in the team. They were probably William Farndale and John Farndale. (York Herald)
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.
