Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook.

Charles was living at 6 Coney Street, York in 1841. In 1823 the premises were occupied by Martha Marshall, who sold cabinets, jewellery, fishing tackle, toys and spinning wheels, some of which were made by Charles' father, John. Items made by John Hardy of Preston & York are still appearing in auctions today. They are mainly made of dark wood and inlaid with silver & ivory. One is a 4 feet high spinning wheel.

HARDY, ROBERT SPENCE: English Wesleyan missionary and Buddhist scholar; b. at Preston, Lancashire, July 1, 1803; d. at Headingly, nr Leeds, Yorkshire, Apr. 16, 1868. He was admitted to the British Conference in 1825, and subsequently appointed missionary to Ceylon.
After a faithful service of twenty-three years in this field, he returned to England and served on several important circuits. He was a man of wide culture, and the author of several authoritative works on Buddhism in Ceylon and on Pali literature, viz.: The British Government and the Idolatry of Ceylon (London, 1841); Eastern Monachism: an Account of the Origin, Laws, Discipline, Sacred Writings . . . and Present Circumstances of the Order of Mendicants, founded by Gdtama Buddha (1850); A Manual of Buddhism in its Modern Development, translated from Singhalese MSS. (1853); and The Legends and Theories of the Buddhists compared with History and Science (1866).
Robert also wrote a biography of William Grimshaw (1708 - 1763), the Methodist preacher and incumbent of Haworth. Robert's sister, Maragaret, married another William Grimshaw, a wool sorter born 1800 near York, Yorkshire. However, Robert does not mention any relationship in his book, and no connection has been found to date. Further details can be found at: http://rylibweb.man.ac.uk/data1/dg/methodist/bio/biog.html

THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE
The Reading of Obituaries
The Rev. Spence Hardy was for many years a missionary in Ceylon. He was a very superior Eastern scholar, and his researches into Budhism are well known far beyond his own denomination.NOTE: The same article gives a longer obituary to Rev. John Scott, who could be the father of Robert's son-in-law, also named Rev. John Scott. The former was born at Copmanthorpe, near York, in 1792. He died in Jan 1868 at Blackheath. He was in service for the ministry for 56 years, and for more than 30 years was an officer of the Foreign Missionary Society.
