The Ancestry of the Coatham Line

The Coatham Line can trace directly back to 1512 from Matthew Farndale to Nicholas Farndaile as follows:

Matthew Farndale (FAR00297), 1827 – 1905

The Kilton 1 Line

                                                  

George Farndale (FAR00215), 1789 – 1858

 

William Farndale (FAR00183), 1760 – 1846

 

John Farndale (FAR00143), 1724 – 1807

 

John Farndale, (FAR00116), 1680-1757

 

The Liverton 2 Line

 

Nicholas Farndale, (FAR00082), 1634-1693

 

The Kirkleatham Skelton Line

 

Georgins Ffarndayle, (FAR00073), 1602-1693

 

George Ffarndayle, (FAR00067), 1570-1606

 

William Farndale, (FAR00063), 1539-?

 

Nicholas Farndaile (FAR00059), 1512-1572

 

You can then follow details of Farndale in the medieval period who were almost certainly earlier ancestors at Volume 1 of the Farndale directory.

 

You can then explore Yorkshire prehistory to give you a further perspective of the distant ancestry of the people of Farndale.

 

 

Chronology of the Coatham Line

 

27 June 1827

Matthew Farndale, son of George and Mary, was born at Marton in Cleveland. Marton is the south of greater Middlesbrough today.

 

20 October 1855

Matthew Farndale, now a labourer of Skelton, married Ann Readman at Christ Church, Coatham. The Readman family were from Coatham.

 

4 November 1855

Mary Farndale was born at Marske. Mary, a dressmaker, died at Coatham in 1899, aged 43.

 

18 July 1857

Could it have been Matthew Farndale, who played cricket for the Redcarites at Coatham Crocket Ground in 1857?

(York Herald)

 

27 December 1857

Ann Farndale was baptised at Coatham. Annie was a laundress in Coatham, and died there in 1933, aged 75.

 

30 December 1860

Sarah Maria Farndale was baptised at Coatham. Sarah was a laundress in Coatham and marred Samuel White, a labourer of New Marske, in 1888. She died in 1933, aged 72.

 

5 December 1862

George Farndale was born at Coatham.

13 August 1868

Robert William Farndale was born at Coatham. He was an agricultural and general labourer, who died aged 40 in 1908 at Coatham.

 

By 1871

Matthew Farndale was a foreman at Sandbanks, along the coast, west of Coatham.

 

2 March 1872

 

Stockton Herald, South Durham and Cleveland Advertiser, 2 March 1872:

 




 

11 September 1872

Did Ann Farndale, wife of Matthew Farndale, run a Temperance Hotel at Redcar by 1872?

 

(Redcar and Saltburn News, 11 September 1873 (and numerous other publications))

 

 

Northern Weekly Gazette, 14 May 1874:

 

TRADE DIFFERENCES

 

THE CRISIS IN CLEVELAND

 

A Council meeting was held at Mr Farndale’s Temperance Hall, Saltburn, on Saturday, when a resolution was passed, the practical result of which is, that the ironstone miners of Cleveland, cease working, and the whole iron industry of the North is threatened with a shock from which it will not easily recover.

 

 

York Herald, 8 June 1874:

 

Saltburn:

 

According to announcement the Miner’s Council consisting of delegates from each lodge in the Cleveland and Rosedale Districts, met this morning at Farndale’s Temperance Hotel in this town.

 

 

THE STRIKE IN CLEVELAND

 

There is little change to report with regard to the strike in this district. The men still stand out against the reduction … A meeting of the Miner’s Association was held on Wednesday, in Farndale’s Temperance Hotel, Saltburn …

(Jarrow Express, 6 June 1874)

 

York Herald, 19 June 1874:

 

THE CLEVELAND AND ROSEDALE IRONSTONE MINERS

MEETINGS OF THE MINERS AND MINOWNERS – PROBABLE EARLY TERMINATION OF THE STRIKE – WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THE 12 1/2 PER CENT REDUCTION AT MANY LODGES

 

… To support this proposition the delegate at once set out for Saltburn, where the Council meeting, which was numerously attended, was held at Farndale’s Temperance Hotel

 

 

1 November 1886

George Farndale was the goal keeper for Redcar Crusaders Football Team in 1886:

 

 

He kept out all the goals that day! Won 4-0.

 

There were three brothers, George, J and W, playing for Redcar at this time. Given Coatham is an extension of Redcar, and the absence of other candidates, I think this must have been three Coatham brothers – presumably George and John Farndale. I suspect Robert William Farndale may have used his middle name, and so may have been the third brother.

 

(York Herald, 1 November 1886)

 

(Northern Echo, 6 November 1886)

 

He also played in back:

 

 

Lost 2-0

 

(Whitby Gazette, 18 December 1886)

 

But who were J (John?) and W Farndale?

George William Farndale the Younger was born at Coatham. George emigrated to USA in 1913 where he was a teacher and founder of the American 2 Line.

22 March 1943
