Sarah McCarry Jordan is my gr-gr-grandmother.  She is the mother of Mary Jordan McKenna Kelly.

Sarah was born in 1812 and died in 1900.  She is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Pana, Illinois.  Tombstone lists her name along with her grandson, George McKenna.  A photo is on FindAGrave.com.

Hi roc102,

Thank YOU for breaking down the brick wall on Sarah Jordan!

I would never thought about her emigration to the US with her daughter! I tried to follow her via her children in the hope I could find her.

Will check the cemetery! Amazing that the cemetery is the same name of the cemetery in Queens my maternal ancestors were buried in.

Will get the records out to you this weekend. I have to pull them out of the box I stored somewhere.

Kind regards,

Tees

Wow! I found her other daughter in this same cemetery! She is Mary’s and George’s sister. Her obituary stated her surviving sister is Nancy McClane of Springfield! This is the very family we are looking for!

She might be the first Jordan to come to the US?  That is probably why Mary decided to emigrate due to her first husband’s death? It was and still is very common for many relatives to follow their relatives in other countries.

Would have to send for the marriage certificate first to determine her parentage.

Unfortunately, for this family, there is only a male sibling. I have a will that names all the children.

Now you give me some stuff to work/research on!

Thanks, roc102!

By switching to their civil parishes ie Derriaghy Glenavy Tullyrusk I am immediately able to search other records

Flax Growers Of Ireland 1796
none of surnames above found in parishes above recheck scott

Tithes Applotment Books
1823-1837 Tithes Applotment Books
based upon the index work of the Irish Genealogy Hub’s
listing for each parish in Northern Ireland,
which are quicker to lookup if you know the parish!
The relevant original books are in the
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) Belfast
they are normally one line records giving no family history just the quality of their lands for potential tax purposes
I have tried to a sample for you
you need to sort these Armstrong by civil parish
Armstrong, Francis-Townland: Feumore Year: 1826-Glenavy-Antrim
Armstrong, Francis-Townland: Feumore Year: 1834-Glenavy-Antrim
Armstrong, Hugh-Townland: Whitemountain Year: 1827-Derryaghy-Antrim
Armstrong, Isabella-Townland: Feumore Year: 1826-Glenavy-Antrim

the other names  Jordan McCarry Magee Mallon Scott Reid/REED
can be extracted by looking up http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/county-antrim-genealogy.php#.W6iw0i-ZNEI


Finding where they went to church in each parish is your next step and then seeing if church records even exist try PRONI Guide to church records online at https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/Guide_to_church_records.pdf

Hi All!

I do have details on Felix Jordan’s birth. Thank you, MonicaL. He was my great grandfather’s brother.

Annie, yes. He sometimes was called Philip. In one record, he was known as Phelix!

This post is for people who might be related to these deceased persons. In other words, Roc102 is a perfect example. With this person’s help, we were able to find out when and where Sarah Jordan died.

Wow! Jim, you went back further in time with the records! I do appreciate your contributions to this post!

I do apologise that I did not get any notifications for this post until now.

Roc102 and I had exchanged information.

Again, thank you all of you who helped and replied and I am quite grateful that there is still an interest in this old post which I had forgotten about until Roc102’s post.

As of now, I have two brick walls left in my family tree! :)

Ever gratefully yours,

Tees
