1849

 

John Farndale was born on 23 April 1849. There is a reference to him in his marriage certificate being the son of William Farndale, a market gardener. It seems though that William was his grandfather and he was the son of Robert Farndale (FAR00318), also a gardener of Bishop Wilton and later Putney.

 

1872

 

Possible military service

 

There was a John Farndale, who was discharged from the Grenadier Guards on 25 July 1872. He received £10 compensation. He served for 3 years and 323 days. (Chelsea Pensioners Discharge Documents). I think this was most likely to have been this John Farndale of Clerkenwell London.

1875

John Farndale of full age, bachelor, clerk of William Street, Clerkenwell, London, son of William Farndale, market gardener, married Emily Greenwood of full age, spinster of 36, John Street, Cambridge road, Hackney, daughter of Robert Greenwood, collector, at Christ Church in the Parish of Hackney, County of Middlesex, on 15 Dec 1875.’ (Say John was 26 at his marriage then he was born 1849).
