When and How did James Hardy Arrive in Australia?

-

My current research is aiming to clarify some 'facts' about James Hardy and his arrival into Australia. 

My original research on my main blog The Family Detective, lists three possible ships for arrival - Rodney, Cornwall or London.

I am using birth registrations, attestation papers, shipping logs and doctor's journals and will use this information to pinpoint the ship James arrived on, and his arrival date in Hobart. 

CONCLUSION OF RESEARCH  

Looking at facts around their daughter Isabella's birth at sea and medical records for James we can conclude that James Hardy & Jane Cadman travelled to Hobart from Gravesend England aboard the barque Cornwall, arriving Hobart, Tasmania in 1851.



I am happy to share research sources with subscribers and contributors to this blog.

Where and When Did James Hardy & Jane Cadman meet?

My research into this question looks into James' time with the 66th Regiment and his attestation papers. I am trying to pinpoint his different barracks in Ireland and if he was stationed in the area where I found a Jane Cadman. She is found in church records and a possibility she may be the Jane Cadman who had married J Connor.  Very little is known about Jane Cadman, wife to James Hardy, so I'm keen to get this research completed soon. My goal will be to make a timeline for the Irish Jane Cadman and see what records I can find to match her and if it helps to eliminate her or keep her as a possible match.
