Signatures of Lambert Blamires and Rhoda Jane Bone

Two new treasures today sent from Ron Streeper.  Thank you!

Notes written by Lambert and Rhoda to their youngest daughter, Alberta in 1908.

West Yorkshire England

West Yorkshire, England.  Home to the Kershaw and Blamires Families.

In Mary Kershaw's cemetery record it lists her birth place as Warley, England.  Warley is near Halifax in WEST Yorkshire.

Lambert Blamires, son of Mary Kershaw was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England.

The County Yorkshire West Riding was abolished in 1974 and broken into West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and Humberside.  Our Kershaw and Blamires would be from the present day West Yorkshire. Warley is roughly 8 miles from Bradford.

Bradford will be in the Bradford Parish and Warley in the Halifax Parish.  I am hoping to do some research in these Parish records.
