  Father	Benjamin HARDAKER,   b. 1797, Rawdon, Yorkshire, England d. 13 Sep 1877, Walcha, New South Wales, Australia (Age 80 years)
  Mother	Hannah MANN,   b. 14 Aug 1796, Baildon, Yorkshire, England d. 5 May 1841, Rawdon, Yorkshire, England (Age 44 years)
  Marriage	9 May 1819	Guiseley Church, Yorkshire, England   [3, 4]
  	Benjamin Hardacre OTP, and Hannah Mann OTP. Both appear to have signed (Hannah signed Hannah Hardaker Mann). Witnesses were Thomas Unthank and James Clapham. The marriage is recorded as having taken place on the 9th April 1819, however it seems very likely that it was in fact the 9th May. Benjamin and Hannah's marriage is the first recorded on the double-page of the register (pages 110 & 111). The marriage immediately prior to theirs, and recorded on the previous page, took place on 26th April. The marriage recorded immediate after Benjamin and Hannah's took place on 19th May.
