Cyril was married to Dorris Irene Hardick (born FOOTMAN). The family remembers Dorris’ birthday as 27th of June about. The family say it was about the year 1914 (See note 1) Doris died May 9, 1982. She was buried in the Maitland cemetery, Western Cape, South Africa. She survived Cyril when he died on Jan 20 1964 at the age of 53 years and the cause of death was lung cancer.

The above pictures represent Cyril Daniel and Dorris Irene Hardick. The third picture shows the last address of Dorris Hardick, 3 Eden Road, Observatory, before she passed on. They had four sons: F1 William Daniel, F2 Anthony Gordon, F3 Ralph Kennith and F4 Michael Eric. (Note 1.) Cyril was 24 years of age when William Daniel was born. Let us assume his wife was about 21 years which makes her date of birth about 1914. She lives approximately for 68 years. Attached the death notice of Cyril Daniel Hardick and it reveals the following which is not mentioned before: • Date of death: Jan 20, 1964 at the age of 53 years, this makes his birth year 1911. • Occupation: Machinist • 1 Sawkins Road, Mowbray, Cape Town • They got married in the Magistrates court • Three of the four children who were still living with parents.

The picture on the left is the grave after vandalism took place in the Maitland Cemetery, Cape Town, South Africa and after the family cleaned up the grave. The Photo here under is the record of burials card of Cyril Daniël Hardick and Doris Irene Hardick. I found that normally, the date of death is on average 2 days earlier and in this case I would say Doris Irene passed away on Sunday, May 9, 1982.
