My friends father was Robert L Hardy=Dawson born Sept 1912,his wife was Louisa Hutchinson.
My friend cannot and neither can i find his Grandfather Robert Hardy -Dawson (NO L), not sure how they know but the info he has given me is he was born at 241 City Road Islington.
I have searched Dawson and Hardy separately tomorrow i will phone and ask how they know this.

The only other time I'm seeing the Hardy-Dawson name in bmd's is for 3 births in the 90's which, looking at the mmn, would fit a marriage where the H is shown as an initial not part of the surname.

So could granddad's marriage have been registered with surname only as Dawson?

And/or is Hutchinson the maiden name and Louisa married with a different surname?

Do you have the birth certificate for Robert L or the marriage certificate for Robert and Louisa.

If so, could you please give all the information on each of the certificates

From freebmd

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Sep 1912 (>99%)
Hardy-Dawson Robert L Hutchinson Holborn 1b 1231

FMP has as both Dawson and Hardy-Dawson

Is your friend not the child of Robert L Hardy - Dawson?
Or are there other children of Grandfather Robert from whom he is descended?
