Perhaps then we should be working from this marriage
Marriage Sep qtr 1900   
Hardy    Thomas        
Smith    Mary Ann       
Worksop    7b   73

If William who died age 22 is a cousin to the Thomas born 1912 to Thomas & Mary Ann then he has to be a child of a sibling of Thomas Snr.

Are you sure about William who died being a cousin of your Thomas.  I can't give details but in 1911 Thomas & Mary A have a 'son' William that would fit with the age of the one that died.

All I know is William is a cousin of Thomas Hardy born 1872 who married Mary ann smith I made a mistake saying Thomas 1912. But thing is they very evasive with information I don't understand why. There's also Thomas born 1912 he married winfred Richardson they had a son called Thomas born 1935 so maybe William is his cousin. Its all confusing.. Thank you for your help and sorry for the confusion but this is how I'm told the story. Regards mandy

I have a William "Billy" Hardy in my family line, with similar dates, but in Canada. I don't know if perhaps that's possible for your line, but I thought I would mention it in the event that it helps with something

Thank you everyone for your help but I been going over the family again I have it wrong. But I'm told my  greatgrandad William was the cousin of Thomas Hardy born 1935 married rosetta pearcy. Thomas born 1935 his father Thomas Hardy born 1912 married winnifred Richardson. Then his father Thomas born 1872 Newark Notts then his father was was William Hardy born 1845 Notts. So sorry for the confusion. I'm looking into this side today again. I'm told that my great grandfather William was the nephew of Thomas born 1912 but I'm wondering if he was intact nephew of William 1872 instead. But like I say thank you everyone.
