1423
Agnes Farndale, daughter of Richard Farndale, (FAR00044) might have been born at Sheriff Hutton in about 1411 (Richard's Will). This assumes she was 24 in 1435 since her older sister who became an executor to her mother’s will was still under marriageable age, but old enough for this responsibility.
1435
The Will of
Richard Farendale, proved at Sherifhoton
21 Dec 1435.
