Sir John Hardy and Mary Stanley

Sir John and Mary Had ** Children
Michael Hardy - Born 1530 Bedfordshire, England Died 1565 Bedfordshire, England
John - Born
William - Born
He was descended from Sir John DeHardy of Bedfordshire and Lady Margaret, d/o Michael De La Pole, a younger s/o the Earl of Suffolk. Sir John, Lord Mayor, m. Lady Mary deStanley, whose ancestry included lords, ladies, the Duke of Earl & of Westmoreland.
Through their parentage on the distaff side, the Hardys could thus trace their lineage to King Edward. Sir John DeHardy, Lord Mayor of London, thus gave the future Hardys of this Union claim to royal blood, no matter how distant & diluted.

Lady Mary Stanley
She was the daughter of George Stanley & Baroness Joan Strange of Knokyn. *Source: Internet
FOR RESEARCH, FROM GENFORUM:As previously noted, Joan Le STRANGE's 1514 will provided a lifetime interest for a daughter Margaret in the Manor of Wymington, Bedfordshire and in language implying that her right to it might be challenged. I had not previously come across any reference to this Margaret and wondered whether she might be synonymous with Mary. The vast bulk of her estate was left to her eldest son and heir Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby, who died in 1524. I have now looked at his will. Certainly any perceived threat to Margaret's tenure of Wymington did not seem to come from her brother. He refers to his late mothers will:
"Also, where my most derest lady and mother whose soule god pardon, by her wille and testament bequithed and by dede granted unto my suster Margaret Stanley the manour and Lordship of Wimyngton with the appurtenances in the countie of Bedford for terme of her lyfe, my mynde and will is that my said suster have occupie and enioye the said manour wt thappurtenances after my decesse if I do not otherwise provide for her in my hast."
There is no mention of a sister Mary. He does refer to sisters Elizabeth (unmarried) and Jane (married to Robert Shefelde), wife, daughter Margaret (unmarried), uncle Edward (Lord Mountroyle), son Henry and brother James.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sorry, if your birth date for Mary is correct she would not be the daughter of Sir Geroge m Joan Strange. Burke's Peerage (1970) states "His Lordship d.v.p. 5 Dec 1497, and left with two daus. sons Thomas, John and James." (Unless a woman married well they aren't listed in the peerage). Now take hope - The Complete Peerage Vol IV states "He d.v.p., 4 or 5 Dec. 1503, aged about 43 (being said to have been poisoned at a banquet), at Derby House, St Paul's Wharf, London, and was bur (with his mother) at St James's Garlickhithe." A footnote to this entry states he was present at a chapter of the Order of the Garter, 7 May 1503, but at the next recorded meeting, 5 May 1504, a mass for the dead was celebrated for him. It is noted that Dec. 1497 is the wrong date for his death. So - - could be that one of the two daughters was indeed your Mary. Hope this helps.
