Yorkshire (West Riding) / How to find firms and apprentices of organ pipe makers
« on: Tuesday 06 January 09 10:56 GMT (UK)  »
My great Uncle Joesph William Armitage (born 1866 St Lukes clerkenwell) was an organ pipe maker listed in 1891 census Watsons Sq Huddersfield. I cannot find him in 1901, but know he was in Plymouth in 1923 (address on inheritance from USA)  He could have travelled with his job, usually where catherdals were being restored.  If I knew his firm I might be able to track him

Occupation Interests / Organ Pipe maker
« on: Saturday 13 January 07 09:53 GMT (UK)  »
I understand that organ pipe makers travelled a lot - where would I find a list of people and where they worked form census time 1891 to census 1901?
I have lost Joseph William Armitage organ pipe maker - he was an apprentice in Huddersfield in 1881, working in 1891 in Huddersfield - born St Lukes Clerkenwell in 1866, living with father Joesph Lofthouse Armitage in 1881 and 1891
Thanks

Hi JIA
Happy Easter.

You have picked on a good one there!
Heckmondwike is a small place that is right in the middle of a few registration districts.

Genuki shows that Dewsbury reg. district covers Heckmondwike and that would be my best guess too.
But if he was born in Cleckheaton which is a very close town they could be at Bradford.

Have you found him in the GRO records? If so which district is he shown registered at?

I found this one on FreeBMD which could be your man

Births Mar 1862
ARMITAGE  Harry Lofthouse     Dewsbury  9b 480  




Thank you , thank you so much for the information and for looking up Harry

yes I think that it is him. the middle name Lofthouse is not common (it is on my grandfather's birth certificate).  Now I will send off for the certificate which will take me closer to finding out about his mother

I hope you had a happy easter

Regards

JIA  :D

Thank you

Just the information I was about to seek but still leaves me a little at sea, as I am unsure which office to write to for someone born in Heckmondwike c 1862 A Harry Armitage.
Also Clerkenwell Middlesex for a Joseph Armitage born c 1867

Can any one assist?  I am also in Australia

Many thanks

JIA ;)
