1425?
William was born
say in about 1425. Could he have been a grandson of William Farndale of Doncaster (FAR00038)?
1450?
Perhaps William
married Rose Farndale in about 1450.
If they had
children, they may have been born in about 1451 to 1470.
If this family
was linked to the Doncaster line, then it is possible that William and Rose
were ancestors to Nicholas Farndale (FAR00059).
1490?
William died, say
aged 65.
1493?

‘sufficient estate thereof’ to said William or to whom he would advise; before
any estate made thereof the same William made his will by which he
willed that the plaintiff should have the said tenement and land to her and her

her heirs and he has refused and has entered into the said lands and occupies
them contrary to all reason and conscience.”

alive.
