My Gt Grandad lived in Blackely when he died , he was cremated in Blackley Crem and his second wife put his ashes on top of my grandparents grave m that is all i know . His first wife Lizzie (known as) had a nervous breakdown when he left her and eventually died in the 70,s of malnutricion. My grandad died in 1980 aged 52 and my father although living suffered a brain heamorrage and he cannot remember everything. The family were born around Ancoats, Blackley, Ardwick area. If I could trace back to 1901 I would be able to go further. My only other option would be to fly over in the new year and visit the local records- Thankyou for your time

Hi I am finding it very hard getting past my Hardy roots into the 1800,s. Dur to yong deaths and family fallouts and illness cannot seem to get passed my Gt Grandad . My line is as follows :
Father - Robert Hardy 1950
Gr F- Robert Hardy 1928 (siblings William , Roy , Alice) died 1980
GG - Robert Hardy married Lizzie and then Irene I estimate he was born around 1905 and had siblings , Joe . Arthur and ALice however I cannot find any further information . I know my GG outlived his 3 sons and died in Blackley in 1980's.
Apparently family may have lived at 1 park road , ancoats for some years . ANy information would be greatly appreciated. As i do not live in the UK it is difficult
Many thanks
Robert Hardy
