Research Notes

Amelia's baptism records note her surname as 'Harding', however her father's surname was clearly 'Harden', and she was baptised as 'Harden' later in 1815. However she handed down the name of 'Harding' to her son. Also note that her mother's maiden name was documented as Chantry on her mother's wedding records.
