Sadly the boundaries changed in 1974 when Yorkshire lost much territory to Lancashire Durham and Cumbria.
The boundary used to be the Ribble and Hodder.
Whaley was only partly n the west riding.

In his will James Hay, earl of Carlisle refers to his ownership of Walley or Wawley, including the dissolved monastery of Walley in Craven, Yorkshire which I think must be Whalley Abbey, but that is in Lancashire. Have the boundaries changed? The will was composed in March 1660.
