Life
Hansard was the son of the manufacturer Thomas Hansard (1727–1769) from Norwich.

His eldest son, Thomas Curson Hansard (* 1776, † 14 May 1833), owner of his own book printing company since 1805, wrote Typographia, an historical sketch of the origin and progress of printing (London 1825) , which is still highly valued in England today . It is based on the so-called Andreäschen Handbuch der Buchdruckerkunst (Frankfurt am Main 1827).
