This is what I have added so far

But I am not convinced Isaac was son of James and Mary Hardwick as records suggest as I cannot find him before marriage

Thanks RF
I note Harriett is a widow and William a Bach.
on 1881 Census there are two Beddard children born before 1870 and Isaac Hardwick died 1869 ?

There is an Isaac Hardwick born Kingswinford 1869 and no Isaac Beddard so must have taken step.fathers surname
The Thomas Beddard is an Enigma

1871 Census Blundies Kinfare Wolverhampton Staffs.
Thomas Bunce Head 50 Stoker born Astley Worcs.
Elizabeth Bunce wife 56 born Bromyard Herefords.
Fanny Bunce dau 18 Domestic Servant born Enville Staffs.
Emma Hardwick grd.dau 8 Scholar born Enville Staffs.
Isaac Hardwick grd.son 2 born Enville Staffs.

1891 Census Morfe Enville Wolverhampton Staffs.
Levi Gree Head 38 Ag. Labourer born Kidderminster Worcs.
Betsy Green Ag. Labourer born Enville Staffs.
Fanny Beddard niece 11 born Pensnett Staffs.

marriage 14/8/1887 St. Edmunds Dudley
Levi Green 24 father Henry
Betsy Bunce 36 (wid) father Thomas Bunce


Fanny Beddard is daughter of William Beddard and Harriett Bunce so Harriett is definitely Bunce

Have added everything but still not convinced Isaac Hardwick was son of James Hardwick & Mary Unknown
