There is something written against the entry for James William Hardy and crossed out. Also something written above his age. Can anyone decipher them, please?

Please D'ONT try to find a birth or any other records for him This is the only evidence of his existance I can find. The surname should be Raper, Hardy is Williams middle name. He was also previously married so James could be from this marrige or could be son of his wife before marriage which was 1878, if that makes sense.

it says 8 mons in age col. , then a crossing out of 8 months as it appears in wrong col.

I agree with Maddie, definitely 8 months, originally written in female column, crossed out and put in male column.

Oh there!, well done!.

Yes thats another of their children.

Also

Frances Annie Raper born 1884. She made it to adulthood. Three of her siblings died in childhood-2 where buried on the same day. Still to find what happened to James, can't find him after 1881.
