Armorial Blazon notes for Johnson Atkinson Busfeild
In his “Fragments of Bingley Parish” of 1875, he wrote, pp. 8 and 9:

“I have little doubt the correct blazonry is that mentioned by Pulman [in a letter of 1844 where he gave the blazon as ‘Argent, a Chevron Gules, between three Fleur-de-Lys Vert’], and displayed in the arms of William Busfeild, impaled with Currer, on his alliance with that family, and in the event of any application on the subject to the Harald’s College, I should prefer a confirmation of the arms as borne by this William Busfeild in 1670.

“It may be as well to note that in the event of an application to the Herald’s College, the family would, I assume, be entitled to the following quarterings:

“1. The arms of Currer, in right of their descent from Wm. Busfeild and Ann Currer, A.D. 1670 (the male branch of the family being extinct).

“2. Fothergill, in right of descent from W Busfeild and Elizabeth Fothergill, co-heiress of Abraham Fothergill, A.D. 1696; and

“3. My father’s and mother’ descendants, upon the decease of Lady Amphlett, sole child and heiress of Edward Ferrand, without issue, will be entitled to quarter the arms of Ferrand, my mother, in that event, becoming a co-heiress of her father, John Ferrand.”

Notes for Johnson Atkinson & Mary Elizabeth (Family)
They also married a week later in Bradfield parish church, St Peter's, on 19th November 1832.  There is a very faint record in Bradford marriage registers, possibly No 409 of 1832, p. 160; this was by licence.

There is a memorial, to their four children who died as infants, in Bingley church; it is a window erected in 1873.  (Or was!)
