Hi
My maternal G/Gfather Joseph Hardman was born in 1851, son of John & Hannah Hardman and appears on the 1851 Census as being 3ms old.
Working back I found John & Hannah on the 1841 Census with two children Alice Partington 5 and James Hardman 1. By 1861 Alice is now a" Hardman". From this I am assuming that Hannah for what ever reason, brought Alice into the marriage, and was adopted by John by 1861.
No promlem here until I try to find John and Hannah's marriage. I can't! and I am trying to find out who John's parents were. As James was only 1 in 1841, surely there should be a recorded wedding somewhere between 1837 - 1840, but I can't find one. have tried GRO. Freebmd, Lancsbmd. LDS family search.
Can anyone surgest another move, where I'm going wrong or another place to look?
