1802
Hannah Farndale,
was the daughter of Elizabeth Farndale (FAR00204) of Skelton, baptised on 1 March 1802 in Skelton
and buried same day (Skelton PR). No father
is shown. She was the daughter of the then unmarried Elizabeth. In the language
of the time, the records record her as the illegitimate daughter of
Elizabeth.
1819
It seems to have
been this Hannah who faced an attempted rape when only 15 years old. A Bill
of indictment for assault was raised against Barnabas Welford, George Simpson
and Stephenson Cuthbert, lately of the House of Correction at Northallerton for
assaulting Hannah Farndale spinster with intent to rape her. The offence was
committed at the township of Brotton on 5 October 1819 and the Bill was
endorsed with names of witnesses and "a true bill" (Yorkshire Archives document reference QSB 1819 4/6/14 - 1
piece – Catalogued).
1825
More happily, Hannah
Farndale married Francis Cooper both of this (Skelton)
Parish, who were married by Banns on 30 May 1825 (Skelton
PR). Hannah was then aged 23.
1881
Hannah Cooper
died at the age of 77 in 1881 and her death was registered at Guisborough in
the third quarter of 1881 (GRO Vol 9d page 341).
