The Ancestry of the Wetherby 1 Line

The Wetherby 1 Line can trace back from John William Farndale to the Ampleforth 1 Line as follows:

John William Farndale (FAR00545), 1875 - 1963

The Bishop Wilton Line

William Farndale (FAR00281), 1822 - 1899

William Farndale (FAR00220A), 1788 - 1871

The Ampleforth 1 Line

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.
