Bradford
1934
Robert George
Farndale married Winifred Sibley on 11 August 1934 at Bradford
District, at St Augustine, Bradford (MR).
Robert was a french polisher living at 12
Lizard Street, Hall Lane. His father was Henry Farndale, a retired seaman.
Paul Farndale has been told that his grandfather
was in the merchant navy (but this might have been Robert’s father, Henry) and
settled there to run a pub. He has also been told that the family subsequently
moved to Hartlepool and then to Bradford en masse,
presumably as the Great Depression hit the north east of England very hard. The
Bradford Farndales stem from this line (email from Paul 4 April 2003).
