Household comprised..... William Armstrong, 47, cotton mill, not born in Yorkshire June or Jane, 41, born Yorkshire Joseph 14, Elizabeth 11, William 7 and John 5, all born in Yorkshire. Though relationships are not given in 1841, it's probably fairly safe to assume that William and June (Jane) were husband and wife and the others were their children. Having got you started, I will leave it to others to fill in 1851, 61 and 71, since I really haven't the time to do the lot! You could, of course, find them for yourself with an Ancestry subscription or Findmypast (though Findmypast haven't yet got 1851 and only limited 1871). -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
