Northumberland / Re: John Bowey/Bowie Hardy b.1828
« on: Tuesday 23 January 18 07:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I am also struggling with the same problem - John Bowie Hardy is also my 3 x great grandfather (through my grandmother, Joan Hardy). I live in Newcastle so have have been to the archives but not found anything to help beyond what you or others have posted, but will try and go back when I have time to see if there’s is anything I have missed. I am also finding it strange that I can’t find any John Bowie/ John Hardy or Margaret/ Margaretta Hardy who seem to be likely candidates in the 1841 census (there others with those names but either are clearly other people as they also feature in later censuses or the details don’t match up). I have some photos of his son, William, and family if you would be interested in electronic copies btw
