Hi Lesley Thanks for your offer - I think this one goes on the back burner until either I win the lottery or getting certificate information is cheaper - it's a far flung branch of my tree. Martha Matilda Armitage married Thomas Lee - I think I need that certificate to discover her ancestry. The South Crosland connection was suggested as there's no suitable baptism in Almondbury - I don't think there's evidence that she did come from South Crosland - in fact the 1861 census shows them living next to North Gate. Best Wishes, Andy.

Hi, I doubt I can be of help but the name seemed a bit familiar and I have just checked the 1851 census and John ELLAM is living with Thomas Lee and his family with his wife Eliza Pashley. I seem to recollect that the name Armitage popped up somewhere but I can't remember where. I am being snowed under with new names before I can actually work them out. Several of the ELLAM lived in the Crosland Moor area and had their children baptised there. They were Methodist. I have found contact with others researching the family lines on Ancestry and in some cases they share birth, death and marriage certificates and I have done the same so I reckon all the contacts I have made and the photos and certificates have covered my subscription costs.
