1330
Johannis de Farendale was the son of
Johannis de Farnedale (FAR00030), a sadler, so was perhaps born in about 1330 when his father
would have been about 27.
1377
We would expect him to have been listed in the tax return for the
1377 Poll Tax. There was a John de Ffurndus, p ux 1s
who paid 8d tax, but given the flexibility of names, it is difficult to tell
which taxpayer, he was, or whether he was away from York or for some other
reason didn’t pay the tax (The 1377 Poll Tax Return for the City of York, Jennifer I Leggett, Yorkshire Archaeological Journal,
Volume 43, 1971, page
141).
1378
His son may have been Johannes Fernedill, who later became a
butcher (FAR00048A).
If so might Johannis III have been born in about 1378, when Johannis II would
have been 48. It is possible there was another generation between them.
1397
Johannes was made a freeman of York in 1397 when he might have
been about 67.
Freemanship of York could be obtained by patrimony. Patrimony is when the children of a Freeman claimed his
freedom of the City as his heritage.

1405
If he died at say 75, then he might have died in about 1405.

How does Johannes de Farndall relate to
the modern family? It is not possible to be accurate about the early family tree,
before the recording of births, marriages and deaths in parish records, but
we do have a lot of medieval material including important clues on
relationships between individuals. The matrix of the family before about 1550
is the most probable structure based on the available evidence. If it is accurate, Johannes de Farndall, was
related to the thirteenth century ancestors of the modern Farndale family,
and was part of the
York Line. He was possibly the brother of William and Nicholas
who settled in Doncaster from whom the modern Farndales
might descend. |
