Joseph their son d 11 April in his 1st year.'

William is known to be the eldest son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Smith) who married in 1660. He attended Attercliffe Dissenting Academy in 1687. The following brief biographical note is taken from page 248 of Freedom after ejection a review (1690-1692) of Presbyterian and Congregational Nonconformity in England and Wales edited by Alexander Gordon, published by Manchester University Press 1917 and available online at archive.org:

DARNLEY ie DEARNILEY, WILLIAM (d. 28 May 1701) Entered Frankland's Academy ('Dearmerley'), 28 June 1687. He was at Kendal ('Dernelly') till 1691 at least. Ordained at Knutsford 27 S 1692, as Minister of Ringhay Chapel, an unconsecrated donative chapel of ease in the parish of Bowden, Ches. … Dearniley's early death was greatly lamented.

Another book available on archive.org, The older nonconformity in Kendal by Francis Nicholson and Ernest Axon, published in 1915, has a chapter entitled Mr Dearneley to Mr Thorneley 1690-1700 (pages 231-237) which contains the suggestion that 'he was perhaps a son or near relation of Nicholas Dernely of Manchester'. see Nicholas Dearneley

Vestiges of Protestant Dissent by George Eyre Evans, published 1897 and also available on archive.org, has a section on Hale Chapel on page 97 naming the minister from 1692 to 1701 as William Dearneley.

XXI. Mr. Dearneley to Mr. Thorneley, 1690-1700.

In 1690, when the Presbyterian Fund obtained returns of dissenting congregations, the Kendal dissenters were a " considerable company," and had a minister, " Mr. Darnley," who had £23 per annum, but there was no meeting house. This want was supplied very soon, as the dated pew-ends now in the Chapel vestry suggest that 1691 was the date when the congregation found a permanent home, whether a new chapel built for the purpose, or an older building adapted. Where this meeting-house was situated we do not know, but Mr. Jennings told us of a tradition that the original building was on the Fell Side and that Presbyterians and Friends used it jointly. The FeU Side is probable enough, but we cannot imagine two such antagonistic congregations using the same building at the same time. Of the meetinghouse itself we know nothing beyond the fact that the walls were rough-cast and the roof of slate.

The " Mr. Darnley " of the Presbyterian Fund MS. and the " — Darneily," mentioned by Joseph Huntert as being minister in Kendal in 1691, would probably be identical with William Dearneley, Dearniley, Dearnelly or Dearmerley, who entered Frankland's Academy at Attercliffe 27th June, 1687. He was, perhaps, a son or near relation of Nicholas Dernely of Manchester.

Mr. Dearneley was ordained at Knutsford in September, 1692, and was then minister at Ringway, Cheshire. He had, before 24th May, 1692, been selected to succeed Mr. Robert Moseley at Ringway, and the appointment was discussed by the Cheshire associated ministers, but there is in their resolutions no suggestion that Dearneley was then at Kendal, although it is apparent that a prior engagement with " the Manchester class " prevented him going to Ringway as soon as Moseley desired to leave.* Dearneley continued with the Ringway congregation until his death, 28th May, 1701.
Dearneley's ministry at Kendal was a very short one. He may have been elected in 1689, though 1690 is the more likely date, and he seems to have severed his connection with Kendal before beginning his negotiations with the Ringway congregation early in 1692.

Hale is a village and electoral ward within the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England. It is contiguous with the southeast of Altrincham, approximately 9 miles (14 km) southwest of the city of Manchester.

The earliest documented reference to Hale is in the Domesday Book of 1086, although the name of the settlement is probably as old as 7th or 8th century. The area was mostly used for agriculture; Hale grew during the medieval period to the point where Hale Barns was created as a separate settlement. Hale was historically part of Cheshire.

Hale and Hale Barns together now encompass some of the wealthiest parts of England. Hale has some of the most expensive house prices in the UK.
