    1. Re: [CROWTHER] Bennett/Armitage/Crowther/Smith families from huddersfield
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ValerieKaye1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.crowther/248.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, Thank you for your message. It's the only reply I've had. Your George is much too early for my family I'm afraid.My Samuel George was actually born in Halifax, and moved to Huddersfield. He was born in 1880, and married my Grandma's Aunt. She was Eva Smith, born 1875. They married in 1904 in HUddersfield, > I know that Eva ended up in Philadelphia, I think without Samuel. I can find no trace of him sailing, dying, or on any census returns. Aunt Eva has also disappeared into the mists of time I'm afraid. She was the only emigrant I knew of for sure, but in looking for her, I found a huge number of 4th cousins in the Armitage & Bennett families. I'm sorry I can't be of any help, other than tell you that Crowther is a very common name here in West Yorkshire,and in my village in particular. There was also a very wealthy branch of the family who were mill owners Many thanks for your interest. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
