Thomas Farndell and his descendants are almost certainly part of a
separate family, the Farndells. They are included
here as Thomas Farndell was a contemporary of Henry Farndale in Carlisle, but
it is not believed they were from the same family.
1824
Thomas, son of
Thomas Elisha Farndell and Elizabeth (nee Pynn) Farndell, was born in
Rotherhithe, Surrey and baptised on 17 September 1824 (Rotherhithe
PR). There may be a link with Bermondsey.
His parents were
married at Deptford, Kent on 25 December 1823.
Could there be a
link to the Ampleforth Elishas who
sometimes misspelt Farndale as Farndell, or is this a different family?
His father was
probably Thomas Elisha Farndell, the son of Charles (probably Charles Peacock
Farndell) and Elizabeth Farndell, also born at Rotherhithe, in 1804 (St Mary, Rotherhithe Parish Records).
Susan Farndell
has traced this family back to Peter Farendel or Farrenen
in Seddlescombe, Sussex in 1485.

1860
Thomas
Farndale appears to have been charged with assaulting the wife of James
Farndale in 1860, but the case was dismissed:
Carlisle
Examiner and North Western Advertiser, 7 August 1860: ASSAULT.
Thomas Farndall, hatter, was charged with assaulting the wife of James
Farndall. Complainant said that on Monday, the 30th alt, she was at Mr
Carrick's shop, when Defendant took her by the shoulders and pushed her out of
the shop, and then used very ugly expression to her. Defendant denied the
charge. He merely told her to go out of the shop, as Mr Carrick would not allow
anyone to come in and annoy the workmen. The case was dismissed, the Defendant
being ordered to pay the costs, 3s.
Carlisle
Patriot, 11 August 1860: ASSAULT. Thomas Farndale, hatter, was charged
with having assaulted Sarah Farndale, in Mr Carrick's hat manufactory, on
Monday the 30th ult. He pleaded not guilty. The complainant, it appears, is the
wife of the defendant's brother, from whom she was separated, her husband
allowing her half a crown a week for the maintenance of herself and child! On
Monday she went to Mr Carrick's shop to see her husband, who, she heard, had
been saying something about her. While talking to him the defendant came up
and, without any provocation, pushed her out of the place and struck her.
Defendant alleged that she was making so much noise that the work of the shop
was interfered with. He did not strike her, but merely
pushed her out. He said, in reply to the Bench, that he had not the charge of
the shop. The defendant was ordered to pay costs, 3s, the chairman informing
the complainant but if she was again annoyed she must
make her complaints there when she would get redress.
So his brother was James Farndale whose wife was Sarah
Farndale.
