The Ancestry of the London 1 Line

The London 1 Line can trace directly back to 1512 from Samuel Farndale to Nicholas Farndaile as follows:

Samuel Farndale (FAR00475), 1866 - 1936

The Wakefield 1 Line

Thomas Farndale (FAR00344), 1839 – 1919

The Whitby 5 Line

John Farndale (FAR00262), 1818 – 1874

John Farndale (FAR00210), 1788

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.

QUITE ENGLISH, YOU KNOW.

1885, by J. F. Valois.

 

What queer things we see, and what queer things we do,

That's English, you know, quite English, you know;

And now its the rage, and 'tis something quite new,

It's English, quite English, you know.

We're out of the fashion, unless we're agreed

To follow wherever they lead;

To dress just as they do, to look as they do,

It's English, quite English, you know.

 

Chorus.

It's English, you know, quite English, you know,

How queer are the people, it's English, you know;

We copy their ways, we pay for their plays,

It's English, quite English, so English, you know.

 

They sent us an actor to show us the way,

That's English, you know, quite English, you know;

He showed us his manner of playing a play,

It's English, quite English, you know.

We studied his walk, and copied his dress,

We puffed him well up in the press;

Some said he was trash, but he gobbled our cash,

It's English, quite English, you know.-Chorus.

 

They sent us a boxer from over the sea,

That's English, you know, quite English, you know;

He came just to visit this land of the free,

It's English, quite English, you know.

He played the drop game when at Madison Square

And this with a heart free of care;

He managed to join on with hard Yankee coin,

It's English, quite English, you know.-Chorus.
