Title: Sarah Hardy marriage to John Townsend - Billericay, Essex 1841
Post by: Boydie on Monday 09 February 15 20:12 GMT (UK)

I am attempting to discover Sarah Hardy's parents.  She is shown as age 28, married on 1851 census and age 43 on 1861 census.  She has also given different places of birth although Vange seems to appear most often.  Would anyone be able to assist in my search - I would be most grateful
as I am planning to visit Essex in July.

Thank you,
Joan in Canada

I see on 1851 there is a Mary Hardy 53.  I was hoping she was her mother but relationship says nurse  :-\

There's a Sarah Hardy in Vange in 1841 age 15.  Living with a Mary Underwood 70. 

The marriage certificate for Sarah & John Townsend should give her father's name.

As you are in Canada perhaps some kind local has access to the marriage record and could look it up  :)
