Hi Pauline, The family name is HARDING, the father being William and the mother, Eliza. I was looking at the NEWRY DISTRICT MODEL SCHOOL from 1858-1870 and I have found several of the children. They lived on Needham Street and he was a stone mason. Thank you for your help. ----- Original Message -----
