Henry Farndale, son of Joseph and Margaret (nee Brown) Farndale (FAR00285) was baptised at St Lawrence, York on 28 July 1861. His birth was registered in the third quarter of 1861.

 

To check - later records suggest he was born about 1856, but this was probably due to him getting his age wrong. Whether the same person as FAR00446.
