Thread: New and in need of help finding Armitages in West Yorkshire

Midnight · 23-07-2008, 04:43 PM

hi,

Just signed up today and have begun to complete my family tree. I have begun with me

. A subject I know most about!. Got stuck when finding my G/Grandfathers family. His forename is quite unusual, its Maskill. Maskill Armitage was born in 1864/65 in Methley, West Yorkshire. He is down in the 1881 census as a coal miner at the age of 14. His Father was called William, born 1838 in Normanton. William was widowed in 1870's and left with 6 children. I know nothing of either Maskill or William's wives. I know Maskill re-married when his wife died but that is all.

Any help would be appreciated.
