Another source of historical temperature data are in the log files of various British and American naval ships. That data goes back at least a couple of centuries. Not only is temperature recorded but the ship's position and typically other weather observations. From the articles I've read about it, there also have been a corresponding temperature increase over this time period.

You still have not answered my comments about using 1, 3, 5 and 10 year multiple moving averages for temperature measurements - that methodology minimizes very small variations and shows long term trending more accurately.
