Nicholas Farndaile (FAR00059),

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.

At this Court Leet William Farndale was elected and
sworn as Constable for the year for South and North Loftus. Law enforcement and policing during the 1500's, and
earlier, were not administrated nationally, instead they were organised by
local communities such as town authorities. Within local areas, a constable
could be attested by two or more Justices of the Peace, a procedure that some
sources say had its roots in an Act of the Parliament of England of 1673.
From the 1730s, local improvement Acts made by town authorities often
included provision for paid watchmen or constables to patrol towns at night,
while rural areas had to rely on more informal arrangements. |
