There are a number of pages on FMP for Henry and I have just picked out "bits and bobs" from these papers
Attestation Papers
Henry Hardley of London, Middlesex 20yrs 8mths
Henry enlisted for the Coldstream Guards at Birmingham on 5 Jan 1877
Birthplace Parish: Poplar, County Middlesex
Bat: 2nd Coldstream Guards Reg. No: 3937
Next of Kin: Brother William, Handsworth (I presume this to be the area he's living)
Wife: Caroline
Campaign: Egypt 1882
Medals & decorations: Egyptian War Medal with Clasp for Tel-el-Kebir & Khedun Bronze Star
Married Caroline Etherington, Parish Church, Clewer, Berks 17 Sept 1884
Do you have Henry's marriage to Caroline Etherington? If not, it would be worth getting as it will give their father's names, hopefully.
