Hi,
Interesting question, would like to know the answer.

The Silkstone Burials does not state a relationship for Edward aged 18, just the address Hoylandswaine, but I also think it is the child of William & Charlotte.
Looking yesterday I came to the conclusion that the Edward with Benjamin in 1851 was possibly the child of John & Amelia Armitage.

I would like find the son of George Armitage, John, who was bapt 20 Oct 1802 Silkstone.
This could be the John who married Amelia.
John & Amelia's daughter Hannah I think married Jonathan Lockwood, which could also be a link for me.

I am working from two different angles, I have a direct Armitage family, and one connected through a female marriage.

It does get very convoluted.

Thanks for your input.
KR  :)

FreeSearch has the baptism of John Armitage, 17 Oct 1802, father Benjamin, at Snaith. This is somewhat outside the Wortley area where the Armitages mentioned so far are to be found.

I feel it is John and Amelia's son Edward that is with Benjamin in1851.

There is a Benjamin Armitage, age 60, Farmer, address Cobley Green, Penistone on the 1841 Census. This gives a date of birth of 1781 - 1784 allowing for rounding down. Wondered if this might be the 1851 Benjamin?. In 1841 the household is Benjamin, wife Hannah and servant Hannah. Hannah Armitage could have died between 1841 and 1851 leaving Benjamin on his own. Might his age have been "understated" in 1851?

So much speculation!

regards

Too many Benjamins.

That Benjamin (aged 60) is also on the same page as another Benjamin aged 50, in 1841.

I think it is a different Benjamin than the one on South Lanes Cawthorne (1851).

As you say so much speculation.

Good job we like puzzles !
