  • Hardakers of Rawdon
    EFFORTS TO UNTANGLE THE HARDAKERS AT RAWDON AND SURROUNDING AREAS: THE EARLY GENERATIONS Work in Progress November 2014 Not to be published or distributed without permission J Brian Hardaker Notes: 1. Numbers proceeded with # are the reference numbers in my Legacy Hardaker database. 2. The relationships described herein represent the best assumptions I can make using the information I currently have available. Some things I am very confident about but others are little more than ‘best guesses’. I have tried to indicate in the text where there is little information to support particular assumptions. These parts of the family tree must be very tentative unless and until more information can be found. 3. Please tell me of any detected errors or of any additional relevant information. Origin of the Surname Hardaker The first Hardakers apparently arrived at Rawdon early in the seventeenth century. It seems likely that the family originated in Ribblesdale, in and around the Forest of Bowland. The surname was probably originally a place-name. There are a couple of hamlets at Newby, near Clapham, in the shadow of Ingleborough Hill and in upper Ribblesdale, which are now called Upper and Lower Hardacre. These might well be what remain of the place concerned. 1 Of course, it is also possible that the place was named after the family who lived there, not the other way round, and to establish that this was indeed the place where the name originated we would need some ancient records showing that such a place existed before the surname was adopted. At this stage, I have failed to find any such evidence for the Hardacre hamlets at Newby.

  • Consultation on the Draft Statement of Gambling Policy
    Appendix 2 Consultation on the Draft Statement of Gambling Policy September 2006 Executive Summary This report details the findings of the consultation on Leeds’ Draft Statement of Gambling Policy as put out to public consultation between the 19th June 2006 and the 3rd September 2006. The consultation exercise used a standard consultation questionnaire which was made available at libraries and leisure centres throughout the district as well as on the council’s website. A large mail shot was also undertaken to contact an extensive list of identified stakeholders such as gambling businesses in the area, national trade associations, responsible authorities, organisations concerned with the social impact of gambling, MPs, parish councils, and faith groups etc. In total 112 items of correspondence were received related to the consultation (mostly consultation questionnaires returned by organisations) and while this could be viewed as on the low side it does compare very favourably to the consultations undertaken by other local authorities. In principal the questionnaire returns showed that the public were fairly happy with the tone and scope of the draft policy. A handful of replies took a sceptical view of the policy although further examination of the qualitative comments throughout the questionnaires showed a fairly negative view with regards to gambling generally and it appears such replies have been a means to vent this viewpoint. The consultation process did however flag up some concerns regarding the suggested controls related to the protection of vulnerable persons. For example concerns were raised that that if vulnerable persons can not make informed or balanced decisions, the provision of guidance material about problem gambling on posters and websites would be ineffective.
