I just clicked your link, didn't notice last night too tired, to the actual baptism record in Upwell, and it is very clearly a letter d.  Very ornate.

It seems the name Hardley does derive from Hartley. https://www.houseofnames.com/hardley-family-crest

The name Hardley still doesn't seem to be associated with Norfolk https://www.ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=hardley

Why would she change her name to Hartley, and then that name be carried on down generations as Hartley Wooll?  I don't understand the Victorian way of using both the mother's and father's surnames in future generations.  It isn't exactly a double barrelled surname, I am not sure if the Hartley in Hartley Wooll is part of the surname or Christian name.

Thanks for moving this thread to the West Riding forum.  I didn't want to duplicate.  And I was making a lot of notes of Hartley ancestors in the trees of DNA matches, which are all in West Yorkshire and Lancashire, mostly around the areas of Keighley and Bradford in Yorkshire and Colne in Lancashire.  At some point in time the family of Mary Hartley would probably have moved to Upwell, Norfolk from that area.
