Hello,
I am looking for my g.g.grandfather William John HARDY b. 1851c whose wife was Sarah Jane HARDY. They had the following children that I know of: Hubert E HARDY, Austin HARDY, and Etheldred HARDY.
Could possibly have had sons Phillip Andrew and Basil Joseph HARDY
William was an artist and was born in Clerkenwell. I have only located him on the 1881 census Civil Parish: St George Bloomsbury County:London, Country England.
If any one could do a lookup for the 1891 or 1871 census I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you
Reenie
:D

Given the kids ages on the 1881, they were probably not married till the late 1870s ...
do you want them in 1871 as single people - perhaps with their own parents ?

HI,
Thanks so much to The Newfster and Tati.
I'm over the moon.
Thanks for looking Wiliam John Hardy up on the census for me. He did marry Sarah Jane Rudge, sorry I forgot to mention it.
I did not know about the children Mary or Les.
Basil was born in 1891, so it must have been after the census was taken. They must have come to OZ sometime after he was born, as they had two more children in OZ in 1895.
Would it be possible for you to look up William John Hardy b 1851c in the 1861 census? I looked on an index for it, and I think he is in a household schedule no 82.
Thanks again.
Reenie.

not sure that you can be forgiven for not mentioning the marriage :P

Newf!! ;D
I saw him in 1861 but it was basically the same household as 1871 ... Are you doing it, N?
Added: I think the boy might have been Leo instead of Les:
Leo Victor Hardy
