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

John George Farndale served a printer’s apprentice in Skelton and joined the army, probably initially the Coldstream Guards in about 1852 to 1853. He then took part in the Crimean War, probably with the 28^th Regiment of Foot, and we have his letters from the Heights of Sebastopol. After the Crimean War he may have travelled to Australia, but ended up in Ontario, where he founded the Ontario 1 Line of Farndales, of five generations, who still live in Canada today. This is their story.

The family tree is colour coded to show the flow of relationships between individuals. You can also follow the hyperlinks in brown text to link directly to other related family lines and the hyperlink in blue text to reach the webpage of each individual, where you can read about their lives in more detail.
