Andy What about the Kaye's of Denby, which was in the parish of Kirkheaton. The Kaye's of denby, were Sir John Lister Kaye, I have not found very many CLAPHAMS at Kirkheaton, but there is a family of Clapham's at Clifton and there is a lot of burials at Hartshead, The Armytage's of Kirklees is spelt ARMYTAGE and Armitage's of Milnsbridge is Spelt ARMITAGE. The Kay's Armytage, Beaumont's were all related in some way.

Many thanks to Steve, Bill and Roy for their contributions - all useful info! The Denby thought is worth a follow up - a task for after the festive season. Seasons greetings to all, Andy. At 19:28 20/12/2007, you wrote: >What about the Kaye's of Denby, which was in the parish of Kirkheaton.
