1357
Richard Farendale,
son of William and Juliana Farendale (FAR00036),
may have been born Sheriff Hutton
in about 1357 (See the Will of William (FAR00036)).
If he was 78 when he died
then he was born about 1357 which makes sense with his father’s will.
1397
Joint administration of his father’s Will was granted on 13 March 1397 or 1398,
so he may have been about 40 then, as the eldest of three siblings.
Sheriff
Hutton (Shyrefhoton)
1400
Given the likely ages of his children, perhaps
he married in about 1400. There is no mention of his wife who may have
pre-deceased him.
1419
Margorie Farndale (executor) might
have been born in about 1419 (FAR00049).
1421
Agnes Farndale, might have been born in about 1421 (FAR00050).
1423
Alice Farndale, might have been born in about 1423 (FAR00051).
1435
The Will of Richard Farendale, proved at Sherifhoton 21 Dec
1435.
