The Kilton 1 Line

Samuel Farndale (FAR00149), 1735 – 1797

William Farndale (FAR00130), 1708 - 1789

John Farndale, (FAR00116), 1680-1757

The Liverton 2 Line

Nicholas Farndale, (FAR00082), 1634-1693

The Kirkleatham Skelton Line

Georgins Ffarndayle, (FAR00073), 1602-1693

George Ffarndayle, (FAR00067), 1570-1606

William Farndale, (FAR00063), 1539-?

Nicholas Farndaile (FAR00059), 1512-1572

You can then follow details of Farndale in the medieval period who were almost certainly earlier ancestors at Volume 1 of the Farndale directory.

You can then explore Yorkshire prehistory to give you a further perspective of the distant ancestry of the people of Farndale.
