Welcome!

I have been researching my family tree since my paternal grandfather died in 1976. Whilst researching my mother's ancestry I started recording every instance of her maternal grandmother's name FARMERY and so my one-name study was born! I now record every instance of the name I find all over the world, and my database currently contains over 51,600 name events. I am constructing family trees for each family group and try to put distant cousins in touch!

My study covers the FARMERY surname and known variants such as FARMEARY, FARMEREY, FARMARY and FARMERIE, as well as instances of the name being used as a forename rather than surname.

Kirtlington is presumably Kirklington. Kirklington, or the adjacent parish of Bedale, look to have included Sinderby and Sutton Howgrave. Early entries include William son of Leonard Farmery of Howgrave was baptised at Kirklington April 27th 1727 and John Farmery and Ann Hopkin married at Kirklington February 3rd 1672.
