A large family living at or near Bishop Wilton who then moved to the Tadcaster area and Bradford
|

The
Story of the Bishop Wilton Line
William Farndale was the eldest son of Elias Farndale of Windgate Farm, Coxwold. He and his brother Elias (and in time the family of his other brother, Jethro) moved east of York to the area around Bishop Wilton, Malton and Huttons Ambo.
The family then moved west to the Tadcaster area and became associated with the villages of Aberford and Bramham (now adjacent to the A1) and Barwick in Elmet. Many of the family were drawn to the worsted industry in Bradford and further west to Lancashire.

The Ancestry of
the Bishop Wilton Line
The Bishop Wilton Line can trace back from William to the Ampleforth 1 Line as follows:
William Farndale (FAR00220A), 1788 - 1871
Elias Farndale (FAR00184), 1755 – 1831
Elias Farndale (FAR00147), 1733 - 1783
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 Bishop Wilton Line
First and Second Generation
|
21 October 1788 |
William Farnell (Farndale) was born at Windgate Hill, Coxwold. His father was a farmer. |
|
About 1815 |
William married Margaret. |
|
1 August 1822 |
William Farndale the Younger was born at Bishop
Wilton. |
|
27 October 1826 |
Elizabeth Farndale was baptised at Bishop Wilton.
Elizabeth married Daniel Hague and was the wife of a large family living near
Pocklington. |
|
23 June 1829 |
Sarah Farndale was baptised at Bishop Wilton. Sarah
was a servant, and married John Simpson. |
|
17 June 1832 |
Robert Farndale was baptised at Bishop Wilton.
Robert moved to London, where he was a gardener in Wandsworth. |
|
2 December 1834 |
Leonard Farndale and Elias Farndale (twins) were
baptised at Bishop Wilton. There is a
lack of record about these two twins. |
|
25 July 1859 |
The property in Bishop Wilton where William Farndale
was staying in 1859, was sold at auction:
(Yorkshire Gazette, 25 June 1859) |
|
1841 and 1861 |
William Farndale was an agricultural labourer at
Bishop Wilton. |
|
About 1845 |
William Farndale the Younger married Ann (Esther)
Leppington. |
|
By 1846 |
By 1846, perhaps at the time of his marriage,
William Farndale the Younger had moved from Bishop Wilton, east of York, to
the Tadcaster area, west of York, and lived at Barwick in Elmet and Aberford
where he was a shepherd. |
|
3 May 1862 |
(Yorkshire Gazette, 3 May 1862) |
|
1871 |
William Farndale the Elder died in the Pocklington
area (probably Bishop Wilton). |
|
1891 |
William Farndale the Younger was by now retired,
aged 68, living at Black Fern Lodge, Aberford. |
|
1899 |
William Farndale died, probably in Barwick in Elmet. |
The family were originally associated with the Bishop
Wilton area. However William the Younger moved west of York, to the area around
Tadcaster, at Aberford and Barwick in Elmet. His brother Robert, moved to
London.
Third Generation
|
1846 |
Ann Farndale was born. She married Richard Nutton. |
|
23 April 1849 |
John Farndale was baptised at Bishop Wilton. He
became a groom and moved to Clayton, west of Bradford. |
|
1850 |
Meantime, in London, Robert Farndale, son of Robert,
was born. |
|
1852 |
Thomas Farndale was born. He married Mary Hannah
Weighill and he was a shepherd at Barwick in Elmet before moving to Hunslet, now part of Leeds. He died in 1929. |
|
9 September 1854 |
Mark Farndale was born in the Pocklington area,
probably at Bishop Wilton. He married Hannah Varley and became a gas man/gas
stoker at Barwick in Elmet and later in Selby. He died in 194 in Selby. |
|
1861 |
Margaret Farndale was born at Aberford. So by now
the family had moved west of York. Margaret was lodge keeper at Black Fen
Lodge, Aberford. She died in 1927. Black Fen is between Aberford and Bramham. |
|
17 September 1864 |
George Farndale was born at Aberford. He married
Minnie in Ireland in 1900. By 1901, he was back at Black Fen Lodge, Bramham,
Wetherby and working on a farm with a new born son, William, who was born
while George was in Ireland. By 1921, George was a farm worker for Colonel
Lane Fox at Bramham Park. He died in the Wetherby area in 1940. |
|
19 December 1875 |
John W Farndale was born at Bickerton. Bickerton is near
Wetherby and I have therefore assumed he is part of this family, but as there
was already a John, this still needs a bit more work. John was a farm
horseman and later a gardener in Wetherby founder of the Wetherby Line. He died on 26 November
1963 at Walton in Ainsty. |
|
30 September 1877 |
George Farndale was born. Again, I understand he is
a member of this family, but this needs some more work as there was already a
George. George was an agricultural labourer at Aberford and married Mary
Agnes Graham in the Burnley area in 1906. This was probably at Clayton Le
Moors in Lancashire, where his children were born. He was a general and state
labourer in Blackburn and Great Harwood in Lancashire. He died in 1954 aged
76. |
|
1882 |
Mary Farndale was born in Saxton, east of Aberford.
She married William Kendrew at Aberford in 1904, who was a quarryman
labourer. She died in 1962. |
|
1885 |
Thomas (Tom) Farndale was born in Saxton. He was a
farm horseman. |
|
1885 |
Alfred (Fred) Leperton
(probably Leppington, his mother’s maiden name) Farndale was born in Saxton.
By age 15 Fred was an underground pit pony driver, but he died aged 16 at
Aberford in 1901. |
Fourth Generation
|
About 1871 |
Annie Eliza Farndale, daughter of John, was born. She
became a worsted drawer and married Frank Robinson in Clayton. They emigrated
to Massachusetts, USA in 1912, where Frank worked as a colour maker in a
paper mill. Annie died in 1938. |
|
5 November 1874 |
William Farndale, son of John, was born in
Ecclesfield, Bradford. He became a plumber and formed a partnership with
Harry Sutcliffe in Bradford. He died in 1933 aged 59. |
|
About 1876 |
John Farndale, son of John was born. He was a
worsted spinner at age 15, in Clayton. |
|
15 December 1877 |
James Arthur Farndale, son of John, was born in
Bradford. He was a worsted spinner by age 13. He married Florence and by 1921
he was a worsted drawing foreman at North Brierley, south east of Bradford.
He died in 1952. |
|
17 September 1883 |
Tom Farndale, son of John, was born in Bradford. By
age 19, in 1901, he was a farmer’s apprentice in Clayton. He later became a
joiner and cabinet maker and married Alice Wilkinson in Burnley. He was later
an iron moulder with Harland and Hobbs Iron Works in Burnley and a machine
moulder. He died in 1962. |
|
About 1884 |
Mary Farndale, daughter of John, was born probably
at Clayton. She became a worsted spinner by age 17 and she died in 1972 in
Bradford. |
|
23 April 1884 |
Ethel Farndale, daughter of Thomas, was born at
Barwick in Elmet. She was a dressmaker’s apprentice in Hunslet,
Leeds by 1901 and worked as a dressmaker. She died in Leeds in 1969. |
|
About 1886 |
Maggie Farndale, daughter of John, was born. She
later became a mill hand at West Clayton. |
|
1886 |
George Weighill Farndale, son of Thomas, was born at
Manston near Berwick in Elmet, on the outskirts of Leeds. By 1911, he was a
warehouseman in Hunslet. In World War 1, he joined
the West Yorkshire Regiment. He served in Egypt in 1915 and was killed in
action during the Third Battle of Scarpe, which was part of the Arras
offensive, on 3 May 1917. |
|
9 September 1900 |
(William) “James” Farndale, son of George, was born
in Londonderry, Ireland. They almost immediately moved back to Bramham, near
Wetherby. James enlisted as soon as he came of age, shortly after the end of
the first world war. His trade by then was a market gardener. He worked as a
garden labourer for Colonel Lane Fox at Bramham Park and married Annie
Thompson in 1933. He was still an estate gardener, living at the South Lodge,
Bramham Park, in 1939. He died in 1953.
|
|
10 September 1901 |
Margaret Annie Farndale, daughter of George, was
born at Bramham. She married Ernest Smith, a gardener. |
|
From 1917 |
James Farndale was excepted from military service
for his work in the weaving mills. He became worsted drawing foreman at the
Saltaire Mills in Shipley, a Victorian Model village, ow a UNESCO World
Heritage site. |
