================At the Great Courts of the Corporation among the Freemenpresent,
Joseph Hardy 9 Sept 1746 - 1747.
================If one assumes that all these entries relate to only oneJoseph Hardy, then it seems that:

(1) Joseph Hardy was an apothecary,
(2) he was admitted as a Freeman of Ipswich in the year before his marriage to Jane Grimwood,
(3) Joseph and Jane Hardy had several children, a significant proportion of whom died young,
(4) Joseph Hardy died in 1748 - I have no further sightings of his widow Jane.
