Christening of Ellen Hardy in the IGI on 28 October 1838 in Witley, Surrey, mother Charlotte Hardy, and her death on 30 December 1850. However I believe this death is an error and refers to the daughter of George and Harriet Hardy christened on 3 November 1839 in Witley, otherwise the 1851 and 1871 census entries do not make sense. the same information is Ancestry England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975.
