Arthur North 1848 - 1919 Bradford Artist
« on: Friday 05 April 19 14:11 BST (UK) »
I am a volunteer researcher for Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford and have been researching Arthur North who was a popular artist / journalist from about 1878.   Arthur married Eliza Kershaw [her father Joseph Kershaw moved to Philadelphia USA and there are many relatives of hers in the US. 
I am trying to find anyone who is a relative of Arthur North - I would like to see if there are any sketches or postcards in the family possession and would like to know if they would like to see the place he is buried. 
Thanks
