Hi Gadget and Irret

Loved the little exchange, it made me laugh.

I have clicked on the link to see what was there and I have now sent it to Mary to open for me.   Thank you.

I have actually gone on the the Barbados mailing list to ask if someone is able to confirm the IGI details regarding Robert's father.    Also asked if there was a marriage index where it was easy to look up the marriage of his mother and father.

As my cousin Mary (a Canadian living in Maine) had never heard of Slandall or Slandale in Nova Scotia, I have also written to the Halifax list (only big city I knew in Nova Scotia) to ask if they could point me in the right direction as to where to find the town.

I appreciate all you have done for me, especially the laughs.

Hi Eveline

It would probably be worthwhile just double checking his birth place (in the absence of confirmation of a Nova Scotia birth for him) on a number of other sources.

Now, he arrived in the US in 1916. Going by his info on the ship's manifest, it was his first visit. If he remained in the US, I wonder if he fought in WW1. If so, you may be able to find his WW1 army card which would include his birth place I believe.

Also, you have him in the 1930 US census in NJ. Have you (Mary) tried to find him in the 1920 Census?

Regards.

Monica

Hi I have never heard of a Robert Carlos Hardy before but I have got his father in my family tree -Robert Henry Hardy who married Lily Deane Tanner and whose parents were Robert Hardy and Mary Elizabeth BOND. In my records they had a son called Henry Harmer Cyril Hardy born about 1879, who did cross the Atlantic to New York in 1919. He married in 1901 but I'm not sure of his wife's name. I have more of the Hardy family history dating back to La Rochelle in about 1692. They were a Huguenot family who first went to London, then to Dublin, then Cork and became involved in the sugar trade with Barbados.

Hi Jenny

I would have loved to have contacted your direct, but Rootsweb deleted your e.mail address.

This seems a bit daft, but my e.mail address was compromised back in 2008 and I changed it, therefore I did not get the reply you made to me in the August, so sincere apologies for that.

In the meantime I have a little more about Robert Carlos Hardy, he travelled to New York in 1904 and when asked said he had been there before in 1902.  In 1904 he says age 22 (1882)   He also was at Ellis Island in 1916 age 16 (1880)but there has already been talk of that before.   He gave his father as RH Hardy who was a Clerk in Trinidad.

Robert signed up in WW1 for the Gordon Highlanders 30 Aug. 1917 and I have his war record.   It looks as though he did not fight said in 1918 that he had a weak heart and gave names of two physicians who attended him in Trinidad before he signed up.   He gave his employers before signing up as Trinidad Shipping and Trading Company in Port of Spain, Trinidad and his history shows him as being born in Port of Spain and he was transferred to the reserves in September 1919.    It does not give his date of birth, at least I haven't found it.   He travelled back to New York from Liverpool on 14 May 1919 to stay with Mrs Johnson 70W 131st Street, Manhattan and this is where he was on the 1920 census.

I have found that he was married before in 1905 Trinidad to Ellen Gouveia and that he had one daughter.

Apart from that I have details of Robert Henry Hardy he was at Uppingham School from 1870 - 1873 His school roll record reads as follows "Hardy, Robert H (E) Nov. 1855. Son of R. Hardy, Knockeven House, Queenstown.   Queenstown is now Cobh in Co. Cork. 

Here also appears (as well as Harmer Brabazon Bond Hardy) to have been a daughter Louisa, but I cannot find anything else out about her.

It would be nice to actually exchange what information we have as I do like to get things right, but obviously Rootsweb automatically deletes e.mail addresses, so lets try in the long way all lower case with an @ in the middle and no spaces. Please note it is a moderator who deletes the email addresses, it is not done automatically! I have removed your email address accordingly.
