Welcome to the home page of my worldwide Farmery one name geneaology study.
|
FARMERY, "a worker in, or dweller by, the infirmary". The infirmary would historically have been part of a monastery.
I have been researching my family tree since 1976. My great grandmother Jane FARMERY was born at Swallow, near Grimsby in Lincolnshire in 1863. I have always been interested in what seemed to be on an unusual surname and collect all instances of the name worldwide.
The name seems to originate in a specific geographic area of north west Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire west of the Trent, East Yorkshire (around Beverley/Swanland) and North Yorkshire (around Bedale/Ripon/Thirsk/
Easingwold). **2007 sees the launch of the Farmery Y chromosome DNA study**

- All my records are now held on a computer database programme (Custodian) and family trees on PAF [Personal Ancestral File]. Listed on the next page are details of my database holding as of July 2007 (over 41,000 Farmery name events!)
- Some of the main Farmery families orginate from Northorpe/Springthorpe/ Heapham, Walesby, Easingwold/Sutton on the Forest, Bedale, Thirsk, Tickhill/Wath/Rawmarsh, Swanland/North Cave, Leeds/Stockport/ Blackburn, Fishlake/Thorne. Email me details of your specific Farmery interest and I'll see what I can add. You can also subscribe to the Rootsweb Farmery mailing list.
- I publish a newsletter, distributed to anyone researching or interested in the name Farmery (to be added to the mailing list please email me with your postal address), and since May 2000 have hosted an annual worldwide Farmery gathering (as pictured above), held in Bracebridge near Lincoln. The next gathering will be on September 29th 2007.
