We're trying to find parents for our great grandfather, Robert Hardy. A seaman, Robert Hardy came from England and his citizenship papers show he was born in Norfolk. However, there is no birth registration that can be found for him. Perhaps he had an unknown middle name of which we are unaware. If you have any connection, Let us know.

Robert Hardy & his sister in England?

An old tintype from long ago shows a little boy and his sister. With the time frame for tintype photography, the comparison of the eyes and ears of the little boy and our Robert Hardy - we think it's a photo of him as a youngster of between two and three years of age in England.


If this picture is familiar - please contact us with information. We have been unable to find any birth record for him in England. We do know that he was a seaman and he came to the United States in 1870. We have extensive information on his descendants.
