Not wanting to be picky, but if he was your ggg (x?) grandfather, off a female line, he is still your direct line ancestor!!! I thought Thomas Hardy wrote novels??!!!! LOL Merry

Do we all touch our forelocks, or pipe you on board the Good Ship GR?! (Sickly fixed grin pinned to my face as my family legend of an Admiral proved to be a mere Lieutenant!)

Wow! What an exciting find in a family tree. Never mind the female line bit - it's great news! Christine

Lucky you!! All I've found so far in my tree, is insanity, bigamy, and alcoholism

This is the line I am searching too. I have 2 Hardy lines from maternal and paternal side. The paternal side is Dorset so trying for that one first (you never know might hit lucky with one of the famous Hardy's) the other from Ringwood, Hants.
Not an easy line, soooo many Thomas's !!
