Additional information and Comments
I have the distinction of being a direct decendent from Hardy. Quite interesting, I also am a captain, and have spent all my life at sea. Your review is interesting.

I am trying to trace the lineage from TM Hardy , through his three daughters to a Miss Hardy that died in Dorset last year who owned `a Table known as the Hardy Table. It has a silver plate saying that it was taken at the battle of Cape St Vincent & the Stern of the San Josef ,above the motto Faith & Works. The Table by design I am told is 1840/70 which is about when San Josef was scrapped .
