Hi
Im trying to follow up on the information I received the other day, but am having trouble tracking down William Harding

Every time I put his name into the Family search, the only dates batch Im getting is the 1867 marriage of John and Ann.
How do I narrow it down?
Ive tried every possible combination of dates.

are you searching for the birth for the William born c1873 ?

Hi Shane

Ive been trying to calculate

John was married in 1867, and he was born in 1841 (census) so if he was approx 26 when he got married Im assuming William got married around 1815.

Take 21 from 1815 and it leaves 1794 as his birth (give or take).

I was never great at maths, but boy have I improved since starting this

to search for anything for that William you are going to have to try for early parish records - you would need a location first, e.g. the name of the parish

I would try for John's baptism first..and then work back from that if you can find details

Been trying to post answer for last five mins

  :)Just found another link in the chain.
Totally by accident, I clicked on a Thomas Harding, and discovered that he was married in Liskenfere Church, which is just down the road from Camolin, where John and Annes daughter Sarah was born (and probably buried)

Oh, I finally feel Im getting somewhere.

EUREKA!!!!!

I found my husbands long-lost cousins!!
Got a message on Genes Re-United from cousins daughter, and we have spent the past
few days catching up.
Amazing the amount of family history that we didnt know!!

Also, looking at the family resemblances is spooky.

Thanks for all the help Shane and Tara
Forgot to say am stilllooking for William, but am finally on the right track!

Hi

Elizabeth Harding, age six and a half years, of Ballyedmonduff enrolled in St Mary's School in nearby Sandyford in 1898.  Her Father's occupation is shown as Labourer but his name is not listed - which is normal.

I bet this is the Bessie age 12 shown on the 1901 census, a grandaughter of John (Labourer working in Agriculture) and Anne.

Cheers
