Three John Farndales, who were likely
to have been father, son and grandson, were all made freemen of York.
The Freedom of the City can be
obtained in three different ways. First, by servitude; that is when the
applicant has served his full time as an apprentice in his trade before he can
be enrolled. Second, is by patrimony; that is when the children of a Freeman
claim their freedom as their heritage. Third, is by redemption; that is by the
order of the Mayor and Court of Aldermen, which means that the Freedom is given
without payment and as a reward for services rendered to the City. Fees have
varied from time to time. In the very earliest Chamberlains account books the
charge for those who had served their apprenticeship was 3s 4d or 6s 8d but
there are cases when only 20d was charged. In cases of poverty no charge was
made. Each Freeman had to take the ‘Oath of Fealty.’
No person could carry on a trade in
the City without first obtaining his Freedom.
Many sons took their father’s names.
The de was generally dropped
during the reign of Henry IV (1399 to 1412).

There are no
obvious records of members of the family still bearing its name remaining in
York after the early fifteenth century. The Subsidy Roll for York and Ainsty (Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, Volume 4, 1876, page
170), during the reign of Henry VII in 1523 listed only Robert Farand
at the Villa of Walton in York who paid 5s on goods of £10 (page
196). It seems likely that he was of a different family, and this line of
the family were no longer at York, with some descendants having moved to
Doncaster.
