Farndale family history and Australia
The Martin family are the
descendants of the Birregurra
(Australia 1) Line and of Mary Ann Martin (nee
Farndale) and William Martin, who settled in Victoria in southern
Australia. When Matthew
Farndale died in 1884, there were no more Farndales in Australia descended
from the Birregurra
Line. However the family continued by female
descent and the name Farndale continued to be used over further generations.
The Australians did not forget their ancestry. Martin Edgar Martin’s second son
was called Farndale as a Christian name and his house
name was Farndale in Wilby. Other members of the
family used it as a second name: Valerie Farndale Basset; Graeme Farndale Woodmason and Stuart Farndale Dunstan.
The Australian 2 Line are the
descendants of Clifford Farndale (FAR00903),
born 1927 who emigrated to Australia.
Another
Farndale family who emigrated to Australia, were James Neville Farndale (FAR00876)
and Cecilia White who moved to Australia in 1955 (email from their nephew Tony
White)
Robert
M B (Bob) Farndale (born 1939)(FAR00958)
son of Arthur Farndale (FAR00706),
born Hendon District 1939 emigrated to Brisbane Australia.
Also James Farndale (FAR01038)
emigrated to southern Australia
There
were also associations between the family and James
Cook.
