Ray Blackmore

Joseph Raymond “Ray” Blackmore (1915–1974) of Cardston and Lister, British Columbia, spoke in Canada on 29 May 1960 and at the Fischer home in Salt Lake City on 4 December 1960.

Compiled genealogical records, including a FamilySearch and WikiTree entry for Joseph Raymond Blackmore, give his birth as 20 September 1915 at Cardston, Alberta, and his death as 20 June 1974 at Cardston. British Columbia geographical-names material also records Joseph R. Blackmore as having died in 1974. Those compiled dates are used here, and are not a civil death certificate consulted for this page.1 A later newspaper account of his son Winston becoming a bishop in August 1984 is not a death date for Ray and is not treated as one.2

He was the husband of Anna Mae Johnson Blackmore, who is named as his spouse in compiled memorials. Their children are not listed with dates here.1 How he was related to Harold Blackmore, who also spoke as a visitor from Canada in 1960, is not settled on this page: published compiled accounts do not agree on whether the two men were brothers or uncle and nephew.

The 29 May 1960 recording from the Canada general meeting and the 4 December 1960 recording from the Fischer home in Salt Lake City are both labeled Ray Blackmore. Each has a second archive copy under a shorter file name; those copies are noted in the sources and are not listed as separate appearances.3
