Was she a widow by then? Doesn't narrow it down much, but still. If you have an address (or two!) you might be able to look on the electoral registers and see if Ethel is there with or without John. The success of this would depend on them staying put though.

Thanks for all your help. Flick i think one of the last two you have are poss correct. I'll send for the certs to see. Thanks again to you all.

Silly me.............maths head not in place yet!

Ethel's death was Nov 1972

A further possibility

Name: John W Hardy
Death Registration Month/Year: 1954
Age at death (estimated): 58
Registration district: Mansfield
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 3c
Page: 180


And, finally....................

Name: John W Hardy
Death Registration Month/Year: 1950
Age at death (estimated): 52
Registration district: Nottingham
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 3c
Page: 354

Hi Flick, Don't think thats the correct death as he was born 1897 - so by 1926 for this record he would have been 29!!
Thanks

No apparent second forename for Ethel..........

Name: Ethel Woolley
Spouse Surname: Hardy
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1919
Registration district: Basford
Registration county (inferred): Nottinghamshire
Volume Number: 7b
Page Number: 661
Find Spouse: Find Spouse

Why, if you knew the birth details, did you say he was born 'AROUND 1897'?

You could have saved us the bother of looking for the record...................

Have you found Ethel's death? I know it's a bit of a tangent but her death cert might give a clue or two. There are only 4 in Nottinghamshire and birth years are widely spaced so might be possible to pin her down:

Ethel Hardy 1892 1971 Basford Nottinghamshire

Ethel Hardy 1899 1972 Nottingham Nottinghamshire

Ethel Hardy 1905 Apr 1984 Nottingham Nottinghamshire

Ethel Cicely Hardy 1897 Jul 1992 Nottingham Nottinghamshire

The child born in 1922 is my mother in law, but she can not remember alot of dates.

How about this one?

You could have found this yourself Bagpuss - on freebmd

Name: John W Hardy
Death Registration Month/Year: 1926
Age at death (estimated): 40
Registration district: Basford
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 218

Dajean - That is the correct birth record as i have that ref. He stayed in notts as far as we no. His first child was born in 1920 so the marriage in 1919 will poss also be correct one.

It would appear that they had children in 1920 and 1922

'Around 1897' isn't really accurate enough for a search for his death


Which of these is his birth reg'n?

Name: John William Hardy

Unfortunately, the names of his father and his wife are of no help with the search.

Having had a look there are an awful lot of John William Hardy's born Notts! A tricky one this.

poss his birth

got that one seeing he married in basford in 1919 4th quarter

Did they stay in Nottinghamshire as far as you know? Might help to have his actual birth date as if he died after 1970 this will be shown on the records (assuming the informant knew it).
Have found this but impossible to say if yours:

I am trying to find a death record for John William Hardy. He was born around 1897 in Nottinghamshire. He was Married to Ethel Woolley. His father was Thomas William Hardy. Thanks.
