Content description
The personal papers of Hardy and Sparks family members.

The remainder of the material is divided into two sub-series: other family papers from the Hardy side and other family papers from the Sparks side of the family.
The papers include financial documents, birth certificates, death certificates, wills and diaries. In the case of Nat Sparks' papers, there is also research into the family history, six extensive family trees (one large) and a hand-drawn map of Puddletown.
For the Hardy side of the family, there are copies of wills and a typed list of relics that survive from the Hardy family in Bockhampton.
