1535
Symon ffarnedale
may have been the son of ?? and Alice (nee Pratt) Farndale (FAR00058)(Mother's Will). Say 12 when his mother’s will was
proved in 1547, then he was born about 1535. He seems to have still been a
minor in 1547 and John Pratt, Alice’s brother, was his guardian.
The will suggests the family was from South Cliffe/North Cave area
about 20km east of York.
1547
His mother
Alice died.
On 1 Aug 1547 the Will of Alice Farndale (nee Pratt) of
Southcliffe, near York was proved.
‘In the Name of God Amen, the eleventh day of July 1547. I
Alice Farndale of Southclif do make and
ordain this my last Will and Testament in a manner and form following. First, I
give my Soul to Almighty God, to Our Blessed Lady and All the Ecclesiastical
Company of Heaven and my body to be buried in the Churchyard of North Cave.
Item. I give to Jennet Brightin a
kerchief.
Item. I give to Isabell Brightin a
veil.
Item. I give to my mother Agnes Pratt a violet gown.
Item. I give to my sister Isabell Prate(sic) a red kirtle
(outer petticoat).
Item. I give to Thomas Brightin and
to John Pratt (her brother, see later), to either of them a calf of the best of
my part.
Item. I give to Jennet Brightin a
green kirtle.
Item. I give to my brother John Prate (sic) a stage (stag?)
of the best of my parte.
The residue of my goods, my debts paid and my will fulfilled, I give to Symon ffarnedale and
to Isabel my children whom I make my executors. And further I will
that my brother John Prate(sic) shall have custody and keeping of my said
children’s portions bequest unto them by this my Testament unto they come to
lawful years of age when I will that the said portions go to the use and profit
of my brother John Pratt provided always that my brother John Lonsdale and
Laurence shall have the custody and keeping of my aforesaid children,
Simon ffarnedaill and Isabell as specified
in their father’s Testament (clearly he was dead). And also if
my aforesaid children depart before they become to their years of age, I will
that my brother John Pratt do give unto John Lonsdale and Laurence aforesaid,
a cowe of my parte.
These witnesses, Symon Garthorne, Thomas Dean,
Thomas Stevyns and Sir Robert Barker,
priest.
Will proved on 1st August in the year above given, written
before Symon Garthorne and Master Robert
Barker, priest, witnesses to the Will and Commissioners before whom administration
was granted to John Prate, guardian of Simon and Isabelle ffarnedale, minors.

If he lived to say 65, he might have died in about 1600.
