Ancestry.com U.S. World War 1 Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 about John Henry Hardy, Stockton, San Joaquin, California, USA.Mother: Mrs. A. O. Jones, Washington, D. C.Note: The parent names for, John Henry Hardy, who was born December 21, 1879 Orford Township, Kent County, Ontario, Canada, were Joseph Hardy and Mary Schofield, but when Joseph died, Mary married, Alvin Orville Jones, in 1910 London, Ontario, Canada and moved to Washington, D. C., USA then to Rittman, Ohio, USA.The Hardy family lived in Ingersoll too.Her 1943 obituary does not mention her son, John Henry Hardy, as a survivor, so if we have the same, John Henry Hardy, who married, Ada Bullis, his death looks to be between 1918 and 1943.
