What happened to the Armitages?
31st July 1683 and in Holy Trinity Minories:
John Armitage bachelor of St Martin field and Margaret Standish spinster of Allhollowe Barkin maried by Mr Weston. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...39?pId=4674378 Mrs Margaret Armetage, her daughter Ann and Frances Standish (her sister) are named in the will of Ellen Sheppard made and proved in March 1702/3: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcr...LLS%2F00146432 Frances brought a case in Chancery against Mary Rowe, widow in 1712, presumably because she still held various valuables belonging to the late Ellen Sheppard https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C3956289 but Margaret (and her daughter) seem to have vanished without trace. A Margaret Armitage, wife of John Armitage from black boy alley Chick Lane was buried in 1708, https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...ce&pId=7857617 but I have found this description of the area: https://rictornorton.co.uk/gu05.htm Ellen Sheppard was the wife of the rector of Sanderstead - can her legatee really have been reduced so low? Nor do I know what Margaret was doing in Barking: her father was buried in Croydon only six weeks later, on 16 September 1683: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...FBUR%2F0128467 Does anyone have any bright ideas? I would have hoped for a will, but I cannot see one (though London has far many more courts than are online)
