Margorie Farndale, daughter of Richard
Farndale, (FAR00044) might have been born at Sheriff Hutton in about 1419 (Richard's
Will).
This assumes she was 16 in 1435 since she became an executor to her mother’s
will in 1435 was still under marriageable age, but old enough for this
responsibility.
1435
