Hardy's in Derbyshire

[ernestine]

All the family come from round Winster, Great Wilne, Sandiacre and Sawley up to 1830s when mining started and they moved up to Ripley and then up to Staveley. From there my Granddad moved to Yorkshire in 1926. Problem! William Hardy married Mary Bott in 1703. Anyone got any ideas where the family came from before then. I've an idea that it was Scotland from Strathclyde where the Hardy Clan were. He called his children William, David and Anne. All Scots monachs. Can anyone prove or disprove this.

Also interested in getting in touch with any descendants of Joseph Hardy and Sarah Anne Shuttleworth (Pheasant/Fesant/Feasant)
