While you are searching in Wexford, you also need to know that there were some Hardings in the area of Clonmel, Co. Tipperary and those records would be in Waterford & Lismore diocese. There was also a small branch in Cork, seemingly Cork City. Dear Peggy & Janet, I am descended from the Cork branch of the Hardings. I do have a Richard Harding, but born is 1859 in Ballycotton, Cork. These Hardings were mostly involved with the sea: fishermen, naval officers, lighthouse keepers. I would love to know more about the origin of the Hardings in Ireland - did they all descend from the Cromwellian Adverturers? Looking forward to hearing more on this topic! Hilda
