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 Whitby 3 Line
13 July 1743 |
William Farndale, son of William and Abigail
Farndale, was baptised in Brotton. |
24 September 1766 |
William Farndale married Elizabeth Barry in Whitby. |
29 December 1767 |
Abigail Farndale, daughter of William and Elizabeth
Farndale, was baptised in Whitby. William Farndale was a Master Mariner. A master mariner is a licensed mariner who holds the
highest grade of seafarer qualification; namely, an unlimited master's
license. Such a license is labelled unlimited because it has no limits on the
tonnage, power, or geographic location of the vessel that the holder of the
license is allowed to serve upon. A master mariner would therefore be allowed
to serve as the master of a merchant ship of any size, of any type, operating
anywhere in the world, and it reflects the highest level of professional
qualification amongst mariners and deck officers. The term
master mariner has been in use at least since the 13th century, reflecting
the fact that in guild or livery company terms, such a person was a master
craftsman in this specific profession (e.g., master carpenter, master
blacksmith). The Extra
Master's qualification (issued only in the United Kingdom), which was
discontinued in the 1990s, used to be the highest professional qualification
and it was the pinnacle for any mariner to achieve. There are also various
other levels of master's certificates, which may be restricted or limited to
home trade/near coastal voyages and/or by gross tonnage. The holder of a
restricted master's certificate is not referred to as a "master
mariner". In the British Merchant Navy a master mariner who
has sailed in command of an ocean-going merchant ship will be titled captain.
A professional seafarer who holds a restricted or limited master's
certificate who has sailed in command of a ship (i.e. appropriate to the
size, power or geographic limits of their certificate) can also be titled
captain. |

Elizabeth Farndale, was baptised in Whitby. |
