Trying to find Hardy

I am searching for anyone connected to my Hardy family tree. Although my grandfather was one of ten children, eight of which were male I do not know of any living relatives with the surname Hardy (apart from my wife and daughter). My gradfather was Walter Hardy born Wawne, Yorkshire 1875. He had two sisters - Ann born South Newbald, Yorkshire c1854 and Harriet born Wawne c1868 and seven brothers - William born North Newbald c 1856, Geroge born Newbald c 1861, James born Newbald c1864 (I know he emigrated to Wisconsin, USA), Thomas born Wawne c1866, Peter born Wawne c 1870, John (also known as Jack) born Wawne c 1872 and Joseph born Wawne c1877. Their parents were Thomas born c 1830 and Christened in Newbald, Yorks and Maria born Marias Wise in Sancton, Yorks on 11.1.1830. The parents of Thomas were William born c1811 and Christened in Beverley, Yorks on 21.2.1811 and Ann born Ann Cock date not known. William and Ann married in North cave on 3.8.1830. I believe that the parents of William were Robert born c 1786 in Beverley, Yorks and Mary born Mary Simpson born circa 1773 and Christened in Beverley 25.9.1773. Robert and Mary werer Married on 13.1.1808 at Saint Mary and Saint Nicholas in Beverley. I believe that Roberts father was James Hardy and possibly married Mary Linford on 22.12.1785 at Saint John and Saint Martin in Beverley but at the moment that is as far back as I go. I would like to hear from anyone who believes that they have a connection with my family tree Hardy or any of the surnames.
