It's a pity there isn't a similar site to Malcolm's for Huddersfield! Ed Law's site http://homepage.eircom.net/~lawedd/index.htm on the titled of Huddersfield is quite informative. Are there any others? I was told my great grandmother Sarah CLAPHAM was a lady's maid to Lady KAYE of Kirklees Hall before she married in 1880 - however in 1881 ARMITAGEs were in Kirklees Hall not KAYEs, so I was looking to find the truth behind the legend. Malcolm's site does mention the Armitages of Kirklees. I've also found Armitages at Milnsbridge where Sarah's stepmother Emma HARPIN was a maid in 1871. So was it Armitages at Kirklees or Kayes somewhere else? Looking for any clues you can offer! Best Wishes, Andy.
