Joiner’s wife in Whitby
1804
Hannah daughter
of John and Dinah (nee Boyes) Farndale, (FAR00198) carpenter of Whitby, was baptised at St Mary the Virgin
Church, Whitby on 1 March 1804. She was born on 29 February 1804. (Whitby PR).

1829
Edward Hunt
bachelor, joiner and Hannah Farndale, spinster, both of Whitby Parish were
married by banns at Whitby
on 29 September 1829. The witnesses were John Coulson and Ralph
Greenberry. (Whitby PR). Hannah was aged 22.

I am very
grateful to Julie
Andrusyszyn, who is the great grandniece of Edward Hunt.
Her research has
discovered that Edward Hunt and Hannah Farndale had nine children. Edward was
the only surviving of four children of Robert Hunt and Elizabeth Tiplady. The
marriage between Robert and Elizabeth didn’t last and Elizabeth went on to
marry John Spencelayh and Robert Hunt married Anne
Arno. The Tiplady line links to the Dryden family who were heroic lifeboatmen,
one of whom was the first RNLI lifeboatmen in Whitby.
1831
Elizabeth Hunt
was born in 1831.
1835
Dinah Hunt (1835
- 1913) was born in 1835. Dinah married George Leeder. George's family were a renowned Whitby family and
were also lifeboatman.
1838
Hannah Hunt was
born in 1838.
1839
John Christopher Hunt
(1839 - 1903) was born in 1839. John Hunt married Eleanor Best. They, again, had nine children. Edward Hunt (1863 - 1903) was born in Stockton on Tees and moved to Chicago,
Illinois. In Stockton he was a sawyer
but seems to have various jobs. He
married Mary Ellen Gale and they had five children. Their son Edward (1892 - 1957) married three
times. Initially he married Edna Earle Woodworth. Edna Earle was a Canadian
First Nation whose family traced back to the founding of the Hudson Bay
Company. Going forward the Woodworth
family had genealogical links to many well known
Americans including many Presidents. The
family were Palatines who fled Germany due to persecution.
