Originally on Cross st then behind the house at 132 Melville street where the factory was built. They would sell gloves and purses to Eatons department store and others. That blanket sounds amazing!

I can say that James and Jennet both died young, with four kids under 17, so family stories would tend to be forgotten or not have a chance to be told. <br /><br />As of late another researcher has contacted me about the provenance of "Hardie" as middle name. It appears four more times in my line, and once in younger brother Williams' line, and almost certainly predates our 3rd great granddad James Hardie Johnston 1788. I came back to your your blog to see if you had any clues and to say hi.<br /><br />Hi!<br /><br />-Mark<br /><br />Mark Suggitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419812707132197485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305679911018720590.post-75380564531703593152021-06-16T07:23:56.112-04:002021-06-16T07:23:56.112-04:00I used to hitchhike to Sauble Beach back in the da...I used to hitchhike to Sauble Beach back in the day and go to the roller rink.
