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.
