1756
Frances Farndale,
daughter of Francis and Margaret Farndale (FAR00135), was baptised at Whitby on 3 September 1759 (Whitby PR). However the record shows that she was 3
years and ten months old at her Christening, so she was born in or about 1756. She
was christened in 1759 with her three siblings.

Farndale was born on 11 April 1786 and baptised at Whitby on 13 April 1786 (Whitby PR, North Yorkshire County Record Office
N-PR-WH1-9). His mother was a spinster, so he was born when she
was single, at the age of 30. He was referred to in the language of the day as illegitimate.

William died aged 13 months and was buried at St Mary, Whitby on 3
May 1787.
