William Jordan -- looking for ancestry info

[bedfordshire boy]

Abraham Kennerley and James Lee were both from Congleton. Were they known to each other do you think?

I found a couple of births for Harry Lee.  Would Poplar be in Brentford District in Middlesex?
Bruce

No. It's a registration district in its own right. June 1879 Poplar 1c 729 looks to be the one (he'd still have been 1 on 3 Apr 1881). Alternatively there's Thomas in June 1874 in Stockton 10a 186, or James William in Sept 1782 at Stockton 10a 77 (Stockton includes both Cornforth and Middlesborough)

You might consider adding reference points to reduce the cost if it's the wrong one eg parents James and Emma

Brian, David sent me a copy of the Abraham Kennerley/Emma Jordan marriage certificate.  I can't find evidence of the births/existence/deaths of their three children.  Do you have any?

David and Brian, is this at all useful?
John Rolfe - born abt. 1818 Hatfield Heath, Essex
census 1841 - Whittlebury St., bricklayer, with a number of others - John Roff
marriage - 1842, 3rd Q St. George Southwark (Surrey) 4, 411  John Roff & Eliza Jackson
census 1851 - 43 Whittlebury St., bricklayer  John & Eliza Roff & Henry age 8
census 1861 - 43 Whittlebury St., bricklayer John & Elizabeth Rolfe
census 1871 - 43 Whittlebury St., bricklayer John & Elizabeth Rolfe
census 1881 - 18 Cardington St., bricklayer  John and Elizabeth Rolfe
from the 1841 census it appears that Whittlebury St. and Cardington St. are next to each other

Brian and David, I did send for Lee birth certificate about a week ago.  Soon we may have some kind of confirmation of Emma Lee's maiden name.  I could not find any record of a Lee-Jackson/Jordan/Kennerley wedding.
