"Alfred Larard and Son, later Larard Brothers, were well-known goldsmiths and jewellers based at 266 Little Collins Street, Melbourne. John, one of Alfred’s sons, went on to run the business and was a founding member of the Manufacturing Jewellers Association of Victoria, ensuring the quality of jewellery was maintained across the colony. He later went on to become president of the association and pushed for greater legislation over the marking of jewellery (Age, 7 September 1916:4). The Larard Brothers mark was a five-pointed star, and this sat beside the carat number and emblem as a guarantee of each piece made. The firm was famed by their attractive mining jewellery supplied to the Western Australia market" (McCalman & Cook, 2001:320).
At the time of writing, there is a Larard Bros horse locket on eBay for AU$500, and Kalmar have an 'Albert' chain for AU$9700. In 2010, the National Gallery of Australia purchased a piece for their collection.

      • Sidney Larard (1867-1868)
  • == m Annie Wrightson (1812-1901)
    • Alderman Frederick Larard (1846-1918). 
      • Frederick Arthur Larard (1879-1936). Founded Larards Estate Agents in 1896, initially as a partnership with Richard Taylor, which - according to the London Gazette of 2 October 1906 - was dissolved that year. Frederick continued the business at the same address. 11 Bishop Lane, Hull. 
      • The business is proud that "Our progressive, innovative and forward looking approach still incorporates traditionally important values stemming from a highly regarded family business synonymous with property rental and estate agency in East Yorkshire."
      • There is a 2015 interview in The Negotiator with John Dennis, on the occasion of the golden anniversary of the founding of his own agency in Hedon. In it he discusses his recruitment by Frederick's grandson Jack Larard in 1964: 
"...a grey haired old bloke with a phone at each ear, a Capstan Full Strength dangling from his bottom lip. He wore a light-coloured suit of obvious quality with a big white handkerchief stuffed expertly into his top pocket... if I played my cards right, I’d get to use the boss’s big flash 3-litre Rover…" Did someone say 3-litre Rover...?

    •  == m Delilah Phoebe Revel Atkinson (1857-1942)
      • Edmund Larard (1882-1974). Took over the Hull jewellers, and saw it through two World Wars. In 1910, he passed his examination, and joined the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers. From then on the old living quarters of the shop served as an optician's.
    Eileen Cussons, vividly describes many scenes from this period. At an early date Alderman Frederick Larard took his son to see W. G. Grace play at Crystal Palace (see Chapter 58.1g). In 1915 the Alderman and his wife were one of six couples received by George V and Queen Mary at the new City Hall on the occasion of their opening of the deep-draught King George Dock. Edmund's wife Nonie was of a nervous disposition. One Sunday afternoon in 1915, she looked out of her front window and saw a huge grey object hove silently out of the mist. The Zeppelins had come. Almost at once, the street was shaken by a terrible explosion. She never quite recovered, and another raid in 1917 apparently brought on diabetes which killed her in 1918. Edmund has always been a religious man, and in his grief he turned to lay preaching and prison visiting. At some point, he astonished his household by bringing home 'Ivy', a motorbike, and insisting he take his daughter Elaine (the main subject of the book) out for rides on Sunday afternoons, in between religious engagements. He helped see the poorest through the grim times of the General Strike  and the Great Depression. Early in WWII, he ran a detachment of the Women's Voluntary Services: on one occasion they used an open fire to heat water for tea after a gas main was hit in an early air raid. Later, much of the centre of Hull was destroyed, including the other side of the street from the family shop and a solidarity visit by George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1942 was much appreciated. The shop remained busy throughout, but Edmund opposed modernisation, which meant that it had no future after his death, and it was wound up.
