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

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

Births Mar 1928 (93%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Devlin Dorothy Hardy Gateshead 10a 1528

And i've only just noticed that it was all done before all my searching

A piece of info which i dont believe has been found out yet

This was Harry's marriage to Lucy Jane

Jenna

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.

Lindsey, What can I say, like Jenna you are without doubt a pearl Many Thanks indeed for not only your time but your help and expertise in helping an inept novice like myself in researching without too many nervous headaches. Many Thanks.
Pat.
