Hello Annette, I have now subscribed to Ancestry.co.uk but need your help and expertise this far back. I am wondering if I might be related to the poet, Thomas Hardy?!
My great great grandfather was James Hardy (b.1830 m.1859 d.1879) and his siblings were John (b.1811), Mary (b.1813), Thomas (b.1815), Daniel (b.1818), Henry (b.1820), Hannah (b.1824), Joseph (b.1826) & Jane (b.1832). Could it be that poet Thomas Hardy's father (b.1816) was sibling Thomas (b.1815)? Both born in Dorset.
Or am I on the wrong track completely?!
Regards
Peter Lawrence (Hardy)

Afraid you are on the wrong track - the father of Thomas, the poet, was Thomas Hardy shown on census bc.1811/12 Stinsford, Dorset - baptised 31/1/1812, son of a Thomas Hardy(1777-1833) and Mary Head married 1799.

If there was ever a connection between your 2 families it's way back in the mists of times I'm afraid.

Yes I figured I might be! Complicated stuff these family trees. Thanks for clarifying.
