Hi Vanda......
Living at Broom House Cottage . Levenshulme 1841 are.........
John Hardy / head / 35 / Ag Lab
Esther / wife / 25
James Richard Hardy ? / 15 / Ap Plumber
Emma / 6mths
All born in county
I put a question mark after James, because , both christian names are abbreviated , and I think the mark after that , is a ditto
The 1841 census is very faint in places.
If you need help chasing him up in 1851 , don't hesitate to ask
Kind Regards

What a coincidence, it's hubby's mum's maiden name :D
It's a shame your Hardy's are down south, we might have been related ;D ;)

Vanda,
Was most interested to see you were interested in 1841 census record for the same Hardy family as I was. This is my first day on this site.

Hi Elaine
Welcome to this fantastic site !!
When I first started my research , I couldn't even get off the ground , without help from members on here.........
On all sides , I am back to the 1700's now.....apart from my Hardy's !!
Good luck with your search.

Hi Elaine,
I would love to know how you are related to them. John & Esther are my husband's 3x great grandparents.
Best wishes Vanda

Vanda,
Thanks ever so much for replying.
I didn't even realise that John Hardy had a second wife, Esther until 1841 census. John Hardy's son James Richard is my great x2 grandfather. The son of James Richard, Charles Gregory, sailed to Australia with his wife Sarah Elizabeth soon after his marriage in Sept 1865. When I was in UK in 2004 I double checked my Hardy research in Manchester & so I'm confident I have these Hardys back to Samuel Hardy born in Oct 1725 in Oldham, Manchester. Would be most interested to share my research. Where do you live? I live in rural NSW, Australia.

Wow Elaine, would that make you & Andrew 4th cousins then? Andrew was really excited when I told him as he hasn't found any 'cousins' before... brilliant 8)
I haven't sent off for John Charles Hardy's birth certificate so I don't know his mothers maiden name. I'm pressuming Esther is his Mum as I didn't know John Hardy had been married previously. I would be so grateful if you could fill us in. I can give you any information I have from John Charles to the present day.
We moved to the Isle of Wight in 1988 (small Island off the south coast of the UK). We were both born & bred in the Peak District of Derbyshire. We've been married for 22 years & have 3 daughters, Gemma (20), Lisa (17) & Elena (11).
Best wishes Vanda

Hello, I came across this post recently as I have been researching my Hardy lineage. My great grandfather James Richard Hardy b. 1847 married to Lavinia Stevens immigrated to the U.S. from Manchester in the mid 1800s. His father was also James Richard b. 1823 married to Mary Tonge. His father was a John Hardy. I was excited when I saw this post. It seemed to match up! However, as I have looked through census lists, birth and marriage certificates, the John Hardy on birth and marriage certificates for James Richard say his occupation is a hatter. The John Hardy married to Esther say he is a laborer on the 1841 and 1851 census lists so doesn't appear they are the same person. I posted in the Manchester section a couple of weeks ago and several people assisted with gathering information. It looks like the possible correct John Hardy married Ann Hasleham. His occupation is listed as a hatter. But I cannot find a John and Ann Hardy that matches up on other lists really. I know this post was from 11 years ago so I realize the original posters may not see it or have any additional information but would love to hear from you if you read this!! Or anyone else!!
