In last week's post, I introduced X00356 about the dates of death for Lancelot Hardy (born 1827) and Frances Snowden Hardy Johnson. For Lancelot, I had estimated his date of death to be between 1865 and 1868.
I have since come acorss a Gazeteer and Directory for the county of Perth for 1867. There is no Lancelot Hardy appearing in the listings for Blanshard Township. While this is not definitive proof, it would suggest that Lancelot died before 1867 and a more likely date of death range to be looking in would be from 1865 to 1866.

X00356 Lancelot Hardy and Frances Snowden death information
You may remember Lancelot Hardy b. 1827 from X00192. He is the son of Lancelot Hardy and Ann Wood and from married Frances Snowden in 1853 in Toronto Township [D07213].
I'm trying to find the death information for both Lancelot Hardy and Frances Snowden.
At the time of the 1861 census [D07143], Lancelot and Frances Hardy were living in Blanshard Township, Perth County. They had a child, Harriet Hardy, born about 1860 in Meadowvale, Ontario according to her marriage registration, so it is likely that they moved to Blanchard Township sometime between 1860 and 1861.
Frances Snowden remarried a William Johnson on 20 April 1868 in Perth County [D07145] so it is likely that Lancelot died before then. The last child that the two had together (as far as I can tell) was born about 1866 in Perth County. So, that would suggest a death range for Lancelot Hardy between 1865 and 1868.
As for Frances, she remarries William Johnson in 1868. They appear together in the 1871 census, but then William Johnson appears in the 1880 US census in Minnesota as a widower. In the 1880 census, he is living with only his children; the children that Frances and Lancelot had together are all living in Canada. So, it would appear that after Frances died, he moved to the US with only his children.
The last child that I’m aware of Frances having was born in 1875, so that would put her year of death between 1875 and 1880.
So, I have estimated ranges of date years for the two of them, and likely locations of Blanshard Township, Perth County. But nothing more definite than that.
Lancelot Hardy died prior to the start of civil registration in Ontario, so no death record is to be found. Frances died after the start of civil registration, but I have not been able to find a death record. I haven't been able to find cemetery records for either of them.
