- Northowram Register: Richd. Hardacre of Crag and Alice dr. Solomon Holdsworth of Northourum mar. Dec 20.
Notes - The marriage of Richard and Alice was recorded in Oliver Heywood's Nonconformist Register and also in the register of Halifax church, from this we can be confident that they were nonconformists. In those days, that almost certainly meant that they were Quakers, Presbyterian or Baptists. The Quakers married in the faith and good Quaker records were kept. Since Richard and Alice's marriage is not in the Quaker records of the time we have grounds to suppose that one or both of Richard and Alice were either Presbyterian or Baptist. Alice's family came from Northowram which was strongly Presbyterian due to the influence of Oliver Heywood who lived there for many years. We also know that Richard was "of Guiseley", and we have reason to believe that the couple returned to the Guiseley area following their marriage.
- We believe that Richard and Alice were part of the congregation at the Buckstone Baptist chapel between around 1735 and 1760, and quite possibly named their children there. With no known birth/death records for Buckstone chapel prior to about 1750, it is probable that Richard and Alice had a number of children for whom we have no record.

Histories Research on The Hardakers at Rawdon and Surrounding Areas: The Early Generations
The first Hardakers apparently arrived at Rawdon early in the seventeenth century. It seems likely that the family originated in Ribblesdale, in and around the Forest of Bowland. The surname was probably originally a place-name. There are a couple of hamlets at Newby, near Clapham, in the shadow of Ingleborough Hill and in upper Ribblesdale, which are now called Upper and Lower Hardacre. These might well be what remain of the place concerned.Research on Richard Hardakers of Rawdon and Surrounds (born 1600s and early 1700s)
The genealogy records provide us with evidence of at least six Richard Hardakers born or baptised between 1693 and 1707 around the Rawdon area. Working out the parentage of these Richards is not straight forward, and harder still is working out which of them married whom, and had which children. This paper details our best attempt at coming up with the correct answers.Research on Richard Hardaker of Rawdon - A 30 Year Old Puzzle Solved
