Foster) Farnell of Bishop Wilton, (FAR00224) and

Jane Farndill married John Gill at
Wharram Percy, on 24 November 1851. Jane was aged 20, so would have been born
1831 (Wharram Percy PR), father Elias Farndale, a labourer.
The old medieval village of Wharram Percy is one of
the largest and best preserved of Britain's 3,000 or so known deserted medieval
villages. It is also undoubtedly the most famous. For over 60 years,
archaeologists have pioneered new techniques here to understand what life was
like in the village and why it was eventually deserted. Perched on the side of
a remote and beautiful valley in the Yorkshire Wolds, the village was
continuously occupied for six centuries before it was abandoned soon after 1500.
1857
Jane Gill died in York in 1857 and the death was
registered in the fourth quarter of 1857 (GRO Vol 9d page 9). This may have been her.
