1680
John Farndale was baptised
at Liverton on 27 June 1680, the son of
Nicholas and Elizabeth (nee Bennison) Farndale (FAR00082). (Liverton PR).
“1680. John,
son of Nicholas ffarndale Bapt June 27”
About 1700
John Farndale was
almost certainly the first Farndale to live at Kilton. He may have
worked there as an agricultural worker or may have farmed there at some stage. Brotton is associated with Kilton.
1705
John Farndale
married Elizabeth Bennison on 5 February 1705 at Brotton. He would be 26 years old. Elizabeth
may have been a cousin since his father Nicholas had married a different
Elizabeth Bennison in 1676.
The entries are not clear and the transcripts record the date
of the marriage variously as 5 February 1705, 28 January 1705 and 1694. I have
gone with 5 February 1705. 1694 must be wrong given John’s age. There is also an interpretation of the second
entry as An Bonington but a closer inspection suggests both entries are
for Elizabeth Bennison.
Elizabeth Benison
was the daughter of John Benison (1663 to c 1755) and baptised in Brotton on 20 March 1680. Her grandfather was
John Bennison (1650 to 1688) who also came from Brotton.
John’s mother was
also Elizabeth Bennison, so assuming the records have been correctly
interpreted, John seems to have married into his maternal family, perhaps a
cousin. So there may have been a close association between the Bennisons and the Farndales going back a couple of
generations.

Benison
John Benison was baptised in Brotton on 28 December 1663
So whilst John
came from Liverton it seems that the Bennison or Benison family came from Brotton and probably Kilton and that
might be why the Farndale family moved to Kilton and became
established there.

Farndale was baptised at Brotton on 5
