Thread: Goldfrey Standring Hardman

I believe my grandfather was born in Capetown, South Africa in 1892 and shortly after arrived in the UK possibly Southampton, with his grandparents, James S Hardman and Jane Hardman. I know nothing of his parents and would love to find out more. His name was Goldfrey ( Godfrey ) Standring Hardman.



Thank you

thanks everyone for the info.



yeah its his parentage that is so hard to find out about, I cant find out anything about his father, and little about Bertha his mother too.

Hi Floridan



In his WW1 records there appears to be a letter from his father James - if you would like copies of the original documents then please PM me your e.mail address.
