Hi

You might like to know that John Harding was one of those Coast Guards called up for service in the Royal Navy during the Crimean War. He served on HMS Monarch (Ships No.38) and HMS Exmouth (Ships No.39), for this service he was awarded the Baltic Medal, which was sent to Sunderland Coast Guard Station on 6 may 1857.

Thank you so much for the followup.  It is hard to find information from so far away.

Is the 'Costnerr' location clue from a census return ?

I cant think of anywhere in Cork with that name...

The 1861 Census from Bedlington, Northumberland is the one that lists Coatnerr or what I read as that for both John and wife Mary.
If you check it, maybe you will get another spelling that means more.
I first have them listed in the 1851 Census in Blyth, Northumberland.
Thanks for responding.

attached is an extract of the census image for 1861 showing John's place of birth, and lower down the son John's place of birth (Carrigaline)

I think the John Snrs birthplace may end in more, and that the 4th letter is an L not a T   The other ts on the page have definite cross-bars

Maybe something like Coolmore ?

Hello Brenda

I do have a bit of information

John Harding and Mary Harding (Fitzgerald) had 3 children.
1.0   Robert (born in North Seaton, Northumberland on 25/08/1850) who married Mary Ann Grieves on 8th October 1875 in Morpeth, Northumberland
2.0   Thomas (born  1846/7)
3.0   John (born 1844/5)

Robert Harding was a miner and had 6 children between around 1876/7 and 1890:  Youngest Mary, Sarah, Dorothy, Isabella, John and Robert.

Do you know why John and Mary came over to the UK?  I would be interested to find out any more information about the Harding family before they left Ireland.

Good luck with your search

Kind regards
