Jordan Dublin (All)

[orourkea]

Hi Thanks for all the interesting information, and through your posting I have acquired some additional information for my family history.

I think my father worked in Jordans of Granby Lane from the late 1930s / early 1940s until circa 1958. My mam left her job there after she got married in 1947. I have a photograph of my father with two other employees taken in the workshop but it does not show very much of the premises itself. If any one in the Jordan family would like a copy I would be happy let them have it.

Do you know who any of their clients were? Did they supply to Clearys or any other big shops?

Do you know if there are photographs of the premises, old advertisements or examples of old notepaper still existing?,

Regards.

I'd love a copy of the picture if you could send me a scanned copy. I'll send it to my Dad and see does he recognise anyone by any chance.  I have no idea how big an operation it was - but do think alot of the clients were private clients rather than through a large retail outlet - alot of country clients I think but will have to check that with my parents.  I found a few general ads ( bought 24 access to the newspaper archives) but nothing of much interest - looking for new staff etc.

Hi, I've two photographs and I have the names of most of the people in them; will post them on the site in a few days once I have them scanned.

Just came across this thread..I am a granddaughter of Andrew Jordan of Griffith avenue. The name Dick Jordan is familiar to me from when I was a kid. I know my granda worked in the furniture factory and was a skilled carpenter.
 He was was married to Mary McManus..they had 6 children one being my Dad Paul.
Some more information on the family would be great if anyone has any.
Thanks 🙏

Hello
I stumbled across this thread when looking for a Bill Jordan who worked together with my father Erwin Zeller at Semperit tire factory in Ballyfermot, Dublin.
Bill could possibly be your father, Barbara, who is an engineer, like my dad?
Sorry, I'm new to this sight so not sure how to contact individual members directly.
Hope to hear back from you
All the best
Albert
