Hi Joy, Fantastic, you've just added 4 generations and almost 200 years. I'd got stuck on a Walter=Mary Hards connection I found on IGI and couldn't take it further - now I have a hope. I'd found the Hawkhurst Penfolds and thought there must be a connection somewhere but also just couldn't make it.
