Our Ardern Genealogy Pages trace my family back to a John Ardern born about 1600 (d.1650) and who lived in Timperley, a village near Altrincham in Cheshire, England. Timperley and Altrincham are in the ancient parish of Bowdon. Our family line would seem to be from the ARDERNEs of Timperely, who in turn descended from the ARDERNEs of Harden (near Hyde, Cheshire).
