Hi

Census 1841                                  Chartridge,Chesham,Bucks
             Jehu      Channer    40
             Elizabeth            45
             Mary                 15
             Henry                10


Census 1851:       Ref.              Address: 32  Botley,Chesham,Bucks

Position in  Forename   Surname   Age  Occupation           Where Born
Household
Head         Jehu (John)      Channer   52   Agricultual Lab.     Chesham,Bucks
Wife         Elizabeth  Jordon    62    Plait maker         Chesham,Bucks
Son          Joseph     Channer   27   Agr. Lab             Chesham,Bucks
son          Henry (Harry)     Channer   20   Agr. Lab             Chesham,Bucks   

i cant find elizabeth jordon on 1861 census
i think her death is january -march  1860 amersham area , not 1869 as some have on Ancestry. i think  that is joseph`s wife  from manchester / chesham
                                                                             

the 1851, 1861 you refer to is  Joseph watts ( Channer)(  half brother of jehu- issac Channer and ruth watts ) Jehu parents Issac and Mary Field )   and Elizabeth Possible( More ) Married in machester and yes she does seem to have different birth places

In Buckinghamshire Posse Comitatus 1798, there are:

Page 139, James Jourdan, cordwainer
Page 140, Thomas Jourdan, blacksmith
Page 140, William Jourdan, blacksmith

These are all in Chesham. If she was born in Chesham, then one of these is likely to be her father.

There are about 23,000 men listed in this volume, out of a total population of about 100,000 in Bucks in 1801, so these are probably most of the adult men in Bucks at that time.

Also, there's a will at Aylesbury for Joseph Jordan, of Chesham, carpenter, will proved 1822.

This is probably the Joseph Jordan, of Hundridge, carpenter, in the same book above, page 146. There's a Hundridge Manor a mile or two from Chesham.
