Hardy Family

Welcome to The Answerbank, Guthlac, but you seem to have started off with an impossible question to answer!

There's no such thing as 'the' Hardy family. In mediaeval times the name 'Hardi' (which evolved to become 'Hardy') was given to a person who was considered bold or courageous. So, even in those times, there would probably been lots of different Hardy families (all of whom were completely unrelated to members of the other families).

Further, over the years, there will have been lots of people called 'Trevor Hardy', so there's no way for us to know which one you're referring to. (For example, there were 43 people called 'Trevor Hardy' born in the UK in the first half of the 20th century, with probably loads more born in other English-speaking countries, such as the USA and Australia).

Similarly, in mediaeval times there could have been lots of unrelated people from Heywood in Lancashire who were assigned the surname 'Heywood' when they moved to elsewhere in the country, meaning that there became lots of different families using that surname.

So, as it stands, your question is meaningless. If you'd care to tell us exactly which Trevor Heywood your post refers to (e.g. by providing his date of birth or the names of his parents), then it might be possible for people here to investigate whether there are obvious links (e.g. through marriage) to anyone called Heywood.

Four or five years ago there was an animate discussion between people from Moston Blacklet who had grown up with and knew Trevor Hardy(beast of Manchester) my interest was did Trevor Hardy,s family from Moston Blackley have any links to Heywood Rochdale where I grew up

If I have the right Trevor J Hardy born Manchester 1945 his mother was Nuttall, an East Lancashire name, possibly it was Edith Nuttall born 1920 Manchester, mother Rudyard.

I will explain,does anyone perhaps of certain age remember Alady called Martha Hardy who disappeared in 1962 from the face of the earth.Can anyone remember her can anyone tell me are there any family members in the Heywood area are the Moston family related.Hardy is not a common name I have come across a handful in my lifetime.It grieves me when good Christian souls are out there in limbo.
