Emily Jane French

[bobtonks]

Thank you.
I found the birth on GRO and a marriage for James French and Ann Stablford 1938 FreeBMD.
I was rather hoping that she was related to the French family in Impington, but not so. Interesting that Charles Hardwick spent his life living within a stones throw of Cambridge, married, had 12 children, and then in 1883 goes to London and marries Emily Jane.


Thanks again for all you

That is certainly her. In 1911 Charles and Emily Jane were living at No 13 Pepys Terrace. Charles was born in Fulbourn but he lived at Burwell for many years, 1861,'71, and '81 census. Interestingly in 1861 when he was living with his parents,  three young visitors, also named Hardwick, were living with the family and recorded as born in Paddington.
