On the actual record it only says Lucy and she was born in 1900 in Bethnal Green. The only birth record for a Lucy Hardy is this:

Births Dec 1900 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardy Lucy Kate E Bethnal G. 1c 141

JenW Report 11 Apr 2008 00:35

Richard's birth

Births Mar 1899 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEVLIN Richard Gateshead 10a 874



and it looks to me like Richard and Lucy also had a son called Richard but you probably already knew this

Births Mar 1923 (95%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Devlin Richard Hardy Gateshead 10a 1833

And there's Dorothy Devlin too. I'm presuming you'll already know this much though

Jenna, Many Thanks for your sterling efforts, it really is most appreciated,even more so because I'm an absolute novice without too much idea of where to start etc when it comes to the old computer thing.I would have lost myself long before I could link up to the Harveys. So again Thanks you are an absolute pearl.
Cheers Pat.
