Thank you so much, DB.
This is definitely my Flora. The parents confirm it.
It makes me so sad though. So many blank spaces on that form.

Sandra and ShaunJ, thank you both so much.
How very sad to read of Charles's death.
It looks like they did not have children as they are not mentioned in the articles about Flora's bequests.

ShaunJ thank you so much!
I had planned to enter a dummy date for the marriage and somehow entered 01 Jan 1926. Thank you so much; I would have been way off track without this information. Kamloops makes sense as this is where they are buried.
Flora emigrating in 1901 makes perfect sense as that was the same year that she was training.
This is a great start for my research into Flora, I'm very grateful.

Canada / Flora Rhodes DILGER British Columbia
« on: Sunday 15 June 25 11:05 BST (UK) »
Good evening from Adelaide, South Australia.
I think I've just found my first Canadian connection.
I have a Flora RHODES, b. 30 Dec 1874 in Gomersal, Yorkshire, England, who I believe married Charles DILGER in Canada. I have a gravesite for the couple at Pleasant Street Cemetery, Kamloops, Thompson-Nicola Regional District, British Columbia.
According to the gravesite, Charles's dates are 1871 - 1938; Flora's are 1875 - 1948.
I know that Flora was still in England in 1901 as I found her in the census 'in training for Colonial employment'.
The next that I can find her - if I can prove this is all the same person - is a marriage in 1926 to Charles DILGER. I have no other dates etc.
I'm hoping that someone will please help me to see if there was an earlier marriage for Flora, and if so, if she had any children, and any further information about her, especially if it can help me to confirm that I am on the right track.
Many thanks in advance,
M.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Yorkshire place name - help please

Again, thank you all so much for your responses and assistance; esp. to Alan for the maps and emails.
MollyC the info re executors running the estate is very interesting and may be accurate here.
I'm always amazed and thankful for the effort RootsChat members will put in to help others. Many thanks. I'm off down rabbit holes chasing various Rhodes family members.
This is both the best and worst possible hobby for my ADHD

Thank you all so much for your help. I thought it was Birstal(l) Church but I was confused as John Rhodes was not a Minister or Rector. Much appreciated.
Tickettyboo thanks for the hint re Ancestry, that will come in very handy.
hanes telu, may I please ask where you found the newspaper articles?
AlanBoyd, are you able to tell me where I might be able to look at the tithe map?
Again, thanks to all for your help. Very excited to learn more about my Yorkshire ancestry.

It's from the 1851 census; I'm not sure if this helps?

Hello everyone,
I am researching my Rhodes family in Yorkshire.
I'm trying to decipher the name of where they lived from the census of 1851. I thought it was Birstall Church, Borstall Church, but I can't figure it out.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.
