Richard Farndale has more recently used web based genealogical sources such as Free BMD and 1837 Online to revise and update the Directory All Events are Shown in Chronological Order against the Date of Birth of a Member of the family; Every Member is given a Reference Number which relates him/her to other Members of the Family Note: Estimated Dates of Birth are in Italics The Directory pages can sometimes take some time to download - for instance you may find you have to wait a while when you click on a hyperlink to take you to another entry. However, once you have opened a page previously during a search, you will find that things speed up. If you plan to view information in the Directory, you may be best to set some time aside and review the pages at one viewing as the system becomes much quicker as you work through it.

History of the Farndale Family Our own part of the Farndale Tree |
The Farndale Directory lists all Farndales born since 1154. It is appreciated that at this stage it is not comprehensive, but with your help, we can add more information over time. It is divided into nine volumes covering different periods. To help you follow the directory: · All Farndales are recorded in date order of birth · Each Farndale is given a reference number · Reference is made under each record to parents’ reference numbers and children’s reference numbers. So although the Directory is not organized as a tree, you can follow family links through the directory. The information provided in the Directory is not exhaustive and we may have further information available

You can find your way around the Directory by following hyperlinks. You can see how far back you can trace your direct lineage. Please be patient when following links between volumes - it takes sometimes a minute or so to open a new volume, depending on the speed of your computer. |
To help me expand the directory and keep it up to date please complete the Directory Information Form or e-mail it to me at rcfarndale@hotmail.com |
| Notice any mistakes? There may be some errors, either in the information or, for instance, a hyperlink may not work or may take you to the wrong place. If you find an error, please email me to tell me about it. |
| Please note that the Directory lists all Farndales. There has to be a cut off in a directory such as this. So the Directory will not continue to trace the children of Farndales once they cease to be a Farndale in name. |
| My Father's Introductory Remarks to his directory INTRODUCTION TO THE FARNDALE DIRECTORY 1. This document has been produced by me as a result of work which started in 1956. It consists of a chronological list of all references to the Farndale family from all known sources. Each Farndale is given a serial number when his birth is recorded or calculated and entered at his/her place within his/her family. The same number is used to mark his own family and life in chronological order. Thus by tracing a person’s serial number to his family at the time of birth it is possible to pick up his father’s serial number and similarly trace him back to his family and so on. Daughter’s marriages are recorded, but not details of their families. 2. The Directory was built up from family knowledge, Parish Registers and Bishops Transcripts, Burial Registers, Monumental Records and other Parish and family documents. To these were added all entries in the General Record Office for Births, Deaths and Marriages. All Farndale entries in the International Genealogical Index and detail as a result of searches in the County Record Offices for North Yorkshire and Cleveland and at the Borthwick Institute at York. All Records of Wills and Administrations in the PRO and at York have been searched. In addition all medieval records, Patent, Pipe, Curia Regis Rolls, the Feet of Fines and manorial records and the hearth taxes have been searched. All military/medal records and where relevant overseas records, returns of votes, entries in directories and telephone directories, the documents at the PRO and Society of Genealogists in London and more recently all relevant entries on the Internet have also been searched. And there is still more to do. 3. Abbreviations have been kept to a minimum, but the following have been used; PR = Parish Registers BT = Bishop’s Transcripts IGI = International Genealogical Index Mon R = Monumental Records BR = Birth Records DR = Death Records MR = Marriage Records BC = Birth Certificate DC = Death Certificate MC = Marriage Certificate September 1998. Sir Martin Farndale KCB (Serial 911). |
Additional abbreviations used:
MMN = Mother's Maiden Name
MSN = Mother's Surname
Registration Districts
You will see information in the directory as to the registration district where each person's birth was registered (after 1837). I provide here a link to a document which provides some additional information about registration districts (to be further developed over time)
You will also find maps of the Registration Districts between 1837-1851 and 1852-1946
