1795
Joseph Farndale,
son of Samuel and Elizabeth (nee Hutton) Farndale (FAR00149) of Kilton was baptised at Brotton on 25 October 1795 (Brotton PR). He
was born into the large extended Farndale family of Kilton.
1817
Joseph Farndale bachelor and Mary Hill spinster
both of Ayton married at Great Ayton, by Banns on 10 April 1817. The
witnesses were Elizabeth Hill, Richard Hill and John Longstaff. (Great Ayton PR) He was aged 22.
1818
Richard Farndale (FAR00263)
was born at Nunthorpe on 15 February 1818 (Great
Ayton PR) and registered in the Parish records of Nunthorpe, now
southern Middlesbrough, and about 5
miles north of Great Ayton. Richard died at birth.
Nunthorpe is now
in southern Middlesborough, and about 5 miles north
of Great
Ayton.
1819
John Farndale (FAR00267)
was born at Nunthorpe on 20 November 1819 and baptised at Great Ayton on 20
January 1820 (Great Ayton PR).
1821
Ann Farndale (FAR00278)
was born Nunthorpe and baptised on 4 November 1821 (Great
Ayton PR).
1823.
Elizabeth Farndale (FAR00284)
was born at Nunthorpe and baptised on 12 October 1823 (Great
Ayton PR).
1825
Richard Farndale (FAR00288)
was born at Nunthorpe and baptised on 31 July 1825 (Great
Ayton PR).
Joseph was
recorded as a cartwright at the time of his son Richard’s birth in 1825 and
when Richard was married in 1850.
1827
Joseph Farndale (FAR00299) was born at
Nunthorpe and baptised on 21 October 1827 (Great
Ayton PR).
So Joseph and Mary Farndale had a
large family of ten, though their eldest Richard had died at birth.
It seems likely that he had moved to Great Ayton to apprentice as a cartwright and
had been working as such since he had arrived there.
1830
William
Farndale (FAR00309) was born at
Great Ayton and baptised on 28 November 1830 (Great

Ayton on and baptised on 25 December 1834 (Great
Ayton PR).

Farndale was listed as a wheelwright of Great Ayton.

In April
1851 Joseph advertised: Important SALE of valuable OAK and ASH TIMBER. To
Timber Merchants, Ship Builders, Railway Contractors, Cartwrights, and others.
TO BE SOLD AT ACTION, by MR TODD, on THURSDAY, the 20th day of April 1854,
2,120 valuable OAK TREES, in FIVE Lots, the Timber and Bark of which is of
excellent quality. Also a quantity of ASH and other IMBER, now growing in the
Woods at Newton. The roads are good, and contiguous with good Turnpike Roads,
and within One Mile of Hutton Low Cross Station, on the Guisborough and
Middlesborough Railway. The Lots can be viewed any day previous to the Sale, on
application to MR JOSEPH FARNDALE, Great Ayton. Sale to commence at One o’Clock for Two precisely.
So it seems
that as a cartwright, Joseph also had woodland in his possession, which he
presumably used to supply his own cartwright business, but which operated
itself as a substantial timber supply business.
