William Jolly Writes:
I am in my 80s and just work on this from home (in Australia) as an interest to share with my children and grandchildren.
Over the last year or so I have carefully checked and double-checked every step back to John Hardman b. 1450 (sic: 1484) in Hoylake.
I am satisfied with the accuracy back to that point.
But I am having difficulty in confirming to my satisfaction William Hardman born c.1470, his putative father Frederick Hardman born c.1450 in Hoylake, then James (or John) Hardman b 1423 (possibly son of Richard Hardman and Margaret Hardman
I was wondering if you could cast any light about whether Margaret Davenport fits reliably into this scenario.
I don't belong to any group or association, I just do this to learn for myself and to enlighten my children about their ancestry.
I would greatly appreciate any information you might have that could confirm (or otherwise) what I have found to date.
Very many thanks for your interest.
