Jeremiah Hardy was born in Sutton, near Peterborough ca. 1799. I have managed to trace him through all censuses, he married Eleanor Yarwood in 1828, and they went on to have 12 children, and Jeremiah died in 1872, still in Peterborough. I have found baptisms for 10 of the 12 children all in Peterborough. Here is Jeremiah and family in 1851 - http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=6146815
My query is this - on the Familysearch site there is a baptism for a Jeremiah Hardy in Peterborough on 10 Jan 1845, parents Jeremiah and Catherine. As my Jeremiah and Eleanor had a son Alfred, born in Mar q 1845 (no baptism found for him), and before him had a son James baptised August 1843, I don't think this Jeremiah is from the same family. I haven't been able to find any trace of a Jeremiah Hardy in the BMD registers for ca. 1845, no death that would match up and no trace of him in any censuses. I am wondering if this could be my Jeremiah, being baptised as an adult. Presumably the only way of finding this out would be to search the registers and hope it was noted on there.
How likely do you think this would be?
