1816
William Farndale, son of Elias and Jane
Farndale, (FAR00224) was baptised
at Ampleforth on 6 January 1816 (Ampleforth PR & IGI). His father was a
labourer.
There is a suggestion in the census records that
his birth place was Bishop Wilton (Grid SE798551)
which is some 20 km southeast of Ampleforth and is closer to where he ended up.
But a later census confirms he was born at Ampleforth.

labourer in the Parish of Wharram le street in the Parish of Wharram le street
and the townships of Baisthorpe and Birdsall (Grid
SE818659) and Wharram Percy (SE 859642).
So he left home to live alone as an
agricultural labourer, about 30km south east of Ampleside.
By the time he married he was a
Settrington (SE835835), about 8km north of Birdshall.
So he had settled in this area.

Name left blank, granddaughter, an
infant aged 1 (presumably their daughter Ann’s (then 17) daughter, but Ann was
not living with them – presumably this is Mary J Farndale (see below). Did
William and Ann ‘adopt’ their daughter’s daughter and use the Farndale surname
(since Ann became Goodwill) perhaps as she was born out of marriage when Ann
was 17?
