    Notes 
    • We are not entirely confident that we have the right William Hardaker marrying Ann Flower. We know of two others born around the right time (one at Otley and one at Skipton) who are possible candidates. Somewhat in favour of this William is that he was recorded as being "of Leeds" on the marriage record, and he returned to live at Bramley (close to where we think this William was born) after his marriage. He named his first son William, although whether that was after his father or after himself we cannot know.

    • It is clear that this family were Quakers, although in the various birth and burial records they are noted as "not in the membership". This means that they attended the Quaker meetings, but had not applied to become "friends" (or members). Our research suggests that the wife Ann née Flower was born into the Quaker faith, which probably explains their affiliation with the Quaker religion.

      The family vanish from the UK records entirely after 1841.

  • Notes 
    • We are not entirely confident with the assignment of William to these parents. We have three children (William, Thomas and Grace) baptised at Bramley Chapel, father's name John, no place of residence recorded. John & Nancy seem to have switched between several other chapels and churches for the baptism or burial of their children, so it is possible that they also used Bramley which is not far from Pudsey where we believe they lived, and Bramley Chapel was used by John's parents for a time.
