Alice
Farndale, daughter of Richard Farndale, (FAR00044) might have been born at Sheriff
Hutton in about 1423 (Richard's Will).
This assumes she was 12 in 1435 since her older sister
who became an executor to her mother’s will was still under marriageable age,
but old enough for this responsibility.
1435
The Will of Richard Farendale,
proved at Sherifhoton 21 Dec 1435.
