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
George Farndale (FAR00215), 1789 – 1858
William Farndale (FAR00183), 1760 – 1846
John Farndale (FAR00143), 1724 – 1807
John Farndale, (FAR00116), 1680-1757
Nicholas Farndale, (FAR00082), 1634-1693
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.

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? (Sporting Life, 18
