John Armitage and Ellen Baskerville family
I am researching the Baskerville family starting with Benjamin Baskerville (abt.1775) and Rachel. One of their daughters, Ellen Baskerville(1803) married John Armitage in 1829 at Youghalarra parish. They had 5 children, Joseph (1829), Mary (1832), Benjamin (1834), James (1836), and Ellen (1839). I am wanting to trace what happened to this family. I did trace a Benjamin Armitage to Manchester, England and beleive this is a good connection because of the names of his children. I can not find the rest of the family for certain. I wonder if they died in the famine or emigrated. Ellen Baskerville was from Castletownarra. There was a Henry Armitage who had a mill in Newtown. I wondered if he is related. This family was RC. I did find other Armitages in Tipperary but not sure they are any relation. My great-grandmother was Rachel Baskerville, niece of Ellen Baskerville(1803).
