1537
Isabell ffarnedale
may have been the daughter of ?? and Alice (nee Pratt) Farndale (FAR00058)(Mother's Will). Say 10 when her mother’s will was
proved in 1547, then she was born about 1537. She seems to have still been a
minor in 1547 and John Pratt, Alice’s brother, was her guardian.
The will suggests the family was from South Cliffe/North Cave area
about 20km east of York.
1547
Her mother
Alice died.
On 1 Aug 1547 the Will of Alice Farndale (nee Pratt) of
Southcliffe, near York was proved.

Alice Farndale of Southclif do make and
ordain this my last Will and Testament in a manner and form following. First, I
