Can some kind person help me to trace the Marriage of Henry Hardy c1886 to a Sarah, the only child I know was Florence born in 1908. So roughly around that time. I have checked once myself but need help confirming details of Sarah's maiden name and then I can attempt to trace back.
Thank you

Charlotte

I managed to find one on Free BMD in DEC 1908 Florence Sarah. Am more interested in finding the marriage of Henry around that time.

Not even to a Sarah, this is a shame as it seems I can't trace the family any further.

If you were sure of the birth, Florence's birth certificate would give both parents names

Charlotte

Charlotte Report 31 Aug 2008 23:13

The mothers name was Sarah I know this much.

Do you know when Florence died?

Perhaps it was after 1969, late enough for her birthdate and place of birth to be recorded?

Charlotte Report 31 Aug 2008 23:25

Thank you Gwyn.

How do you know who her parents were ? You seem convinced about the parents, if they were in the grave as well, what did it say about them.
Did this Florence marry, or was she single when she died?

Hi Charlotte,

Order this birth cert. It's the one that fits with Florence's birthdate. If she was born 20th sept 1908, then her parents would have registered her birth a few weeks later, the following quarter.


Florence Sarah Hardy
Year of Registration: 1908
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Edmonton
County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex
Volume: 3a
Page: 635


It's going to give you her parents full names, occupations, address so forth.

Thank you Deb,
I think I will have to order Florence Hardy's birth certificate. This is the marriage I found and followed but it seems that I ended up tracing the wrong family. Is Sarah listed as Sarah or Sarah Louise Barrett?
Linda,
I know them to be her parents from what my grandparents have told me. The dates could be somewhat out.

Hi Charlotte,

She's listed as just Sarah Barrett. There's another Sarah Louisa Barrett who also married in 1906, but not to a Hardy.

Ordering the birth cert is the best way to go. At least you'll know who the parents were. You've got Florence Sarah's birthdate, so you know the birth ref is the correct one.
