I'm trying to find out more (actually anything) about my gg g grandfather Joseph Jordan born in 1806 Llanstephan.

Can any angels ( pardon the Christmas pun)  assist

P.S. Thankyou welsh lady for mastering the dark art of reading census'

What kind of information are you looking for?

You state anything-but from your previous posts I understand you have census details???

Could you please state what kind of information you are seeking -and what information you already have to save duplication of  look ups?

In particular,

What was his actual birth year (1806 is aproximate).

Who was his mother and father.  When were they born / where were they from?

What did he do?  (if this can be found).

When was he married ( might need to look at Abergwili records for this)

Thanks for any help,

Rob.

Thankyou.         

I'm having a real problem tracing joseph jordan to his parents  -  he was born in Llanstephan about 1806 by his own admission but the records don't go further than c1815. 

He also moved to Swansea where my great grandmother was born so the records for Llanstephan are no use even as to marriages as these peter out in 1837.  Do you know where the recent ones are?

Is there any indication of Eliza's lineage?

It would be helpful to know where to look before going on a goose chase.  Thankyou for your answer I appreciate your response.

Rob.

There is one possible problem - Eliza was supposed to be from Abergwili why would she get married in Llandefeilog??
