Identification John Hardy/West

[minniehaha]

And can anything be gleaned from the death printout for John?

Minnie the information on his death cert is all that my father knew, John Hardy unknown where born, unknown parents names

[minniehaha]

Would this be the death registration for Mary Alice in 1951?

1951/24319   Hardy   Mary Alice   50Y

Yes

"...the information on his death cert is all that my father knew". Do you mean that your father is the informant for his father's death record?. If not, who is the informant.

Do you have the death document for Mary Alice HARDY?

[today1]

yes he was the informant.  No I dont have Mary's death certificate, i sighted it years ago, alot of things were thrown out.  I discussed later with my father and there was nothing on her death certificate that was of assistance with John's origins.

[minniehaha]

Perhaps we should work on Mary's family in the hope that some information may eventually be found there?

For starters:

Mary Alice and her siblings........

1899/262   Hardwick   Reginald Henry   Mary Alice   Allan

1894/12482   Hardwick   Herbert Allan   Alice Mary   Allan

1897/4740   Hardwick   Florence Aileen   Mary Alice   Allan

1901/20520   Hardwick   Mary Alice   Mary Alice   Allan

Marriage of parents:

1893/2564    Alice   Williams   Allan   Hardwick

Do you know anything about the Hardwick family today1?


Minniehaha.

[today1]

thanks minnie, yes i have all that information, siblings, parents, cousins.  I have spoken with two members of the hardwick family and neither had any information on John.  Mary's brother Reginald who my father spoke with didnt know anything about Johns origins.  He was simply John Hardy to them.

Ok, back to the drawing board. 

I think an attempt should be made to identify the uniform in the photograph. I'm sure a Rootschatter will know which organisation to approach about this.

Perhaps the National Army Museum, Waiouru?
