Its getting late and I'm mixing my Armitages up with my Atkinsons from a different side.
I definitely mean `Armitage', Honest.
Just been on Ancestry.com.
On 1861 census, found Edwin Hoyle and wife Mary (Armitage) and family living at Moorside, Slaithwaite.
Call this coincidence or what, but they are living next door to the family of John Shaw bn Slaithwaite 1799 and his wife Hannah bn Stainland, Halifax 1798.
There could well be something in this.
I need to find a marriage for Edwin and Mary to determine Mary's father.
I'm newish to this site, wonder if I can give my email address. I think there is a way in the profile, I'll have a look.
Are you on Ancestry?
