My father was Edward Armitage of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.   He
was a fine worsted manufacturer trading as Edward & Son, and college
lecturer.   He married my mother Constance Jane Dickson about 1906/7. 
 They had six children (John, James, Norman, Eleanor, Donald, and
Jean).  Who was his first wife, and did they have any children?   If
so, hbow many, and what were their names?

Donald Armitage

Request for Question Clarification by scriptor-ga on 21 Jan 2006 06:31 PST

To have a basis for further research, I'm currently trying to identify
the correct Edward Armitage. Unfortunately, this name is not rare in
the Huddersfield District. But I have found one Edward Armitage in the
1901 Census of England and Wales that might be the right one:

Name: Edward Armitage
Age: 36
Where born: Yorkshire, Huddersfield
Civil Parish: Lockwood
Occupation: Lecturer, Cloth Weaving

Do you think that this is the Edward Armitage you have in mind? I also
found him in the 1881 Census of England, as the son of Frederick
Armitage (then 43 years old) and Judith E. Armitage, of Lockwood.

Does this look like the correct person to you? Any additional details
you could provide may prove helpful.

Hi dyna-ga and  scriptor-ga

I found the following results. This Edward ARMITAGE is about the same
age as the one that scriptor-ga found, however the fathers name is
different.
Perhaps scriptor-ga can do some more research and supply you with the
answer you require

Husband: Edward ARMITAGE (23 Years Old)
Father: Ben ARMITAGE
Married 17 July, 1889, Kirkburton, Yorkshire, England 
Wife: Emily Jane KAYE (24 Years Old)
Father: David KAYE

Search Engine Used: GOOGLE
Website Used:       www.familysearch.org
Search Terms Used: 
First Name: Edward
Last  Name: Armitage
Life Event: Marriage
Year:       1885
Year Range: + or - 5 years   

This would make him between 20 and 25 years old when he married (23 as shown above)

Kind regards
