The Ancestry of
the New Zealand 2 Line
The Norwich Line can trace back from William to the Ampleforth 1 Line as follows:
Wilfred Farndale (FAR00769), 1911 - 1985
Tom Farndale (FAR00536), 1875 - 1955
William Farndale (FAR00377), 1849 – 1927
William Farndale (FAR00286), 1824 – 1910
Jethro Farndale (FAR00218), 1790 – 1882
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.
