Hello Dorothy,
I have copied, very carefully, your e-mail address, but the message refuses
to leave me, it tells me there are fatal errors in your address so I am
sending it via rootsweb.

As you will see I found James W. (illiam) HARDY and I am sure you will be
pleased to see that, yes, Elizabeth is there as you had hoped.

Here goes:
Owner of Grave 'S' 2963 in the Unconsecrated part, James William HARDY.
purchased for £2-00

37508 - Buried December 30th 1876 - John CHATER - 11 months of age - late of
Waring Street, Leicester, section 'S' of the cemetery, grave # 2963 - The
Reverend J. ANGRAVE officiated. (FICHE 1876)

67935 - Buried April 10th 1891 - Arthur RICHARDSON - 8 months of age - late
of Willow Street, Leicester, section 'S' of the cemetery, grave # 2963 - The
Reverend W. OVERTON officiated. (FICHE 3378)

113232 - Buried January 31st 1924 - Elizabeth HARDY - 80 years of age* -
late of 5, Vulcan Road*, Leicester, section 'S' of the cemetery, grave #
2963 - The Reverend J. W. WARREN officiated. (FICHE 5645)

124316 - Buried February 13th 1937 - James William HARDY - 80 years of
age* - late of 5, Vulcan Road*, Leicester, section 'S' of the cemetery,
grave # 2963. The Reverend P. LIDSTER officiated. (FICHE 6198)

125842 - Buried June 10th 1939 - Sarah Ann HARDY - 78 years of age - late of
25, Harewood Street, Leicester, died at 2, Swain Street,*** Leicester..
section 'S' of the cemetery, grave # 2963. The Reverend L. CHALLIS
officiated (FICHE 6257)

The word "FULL" follows the wording of the burial of Sarah Ann HARDY.

*It may be that you think I have made an error in the recording of the
deaths of Elizabeth & William as they were both 80, years of age and had
lived at 5, Vulcan Road, I assure you the details are correct.

***Sarah Ann HARDY died at 2, Swain Street, Leicester. This address was what
was known as 'The Workhouse', but in those days it was also used to
accomodate the elderly and others who had become too infirm to care for
themselves, thankfully such places no longer exist.

I hope the above helps you to move forward with your researches, if I can be
of further help just e-mail me.

Regards
Harold
