1540
If Jean was 27
when she married then she would have been born about 1540.
She was probably
the daughter of Nicholas Farndale (1512 to 1572)(FAR00059) and Agnes
Farndale (1516 to 1586)(FAR00060).
See more of an explanation of the logic for these relationships on the page of
Nicholas Farndale.
She was probably
born in or around Campsall north of Doncaster.
1564 to
1567
The family
probably moved to Cleveland and Kirkleatham between 1564 and 1567.
1567
Jean Farndaile married Richard Fairley at Kirkleatham on 16 October 1567 (Kirkleatham PR).
