Jordin in Saskatchewan...COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 19 April 05 22:17 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone point me to details of John Jordin, who emigrated from Staffordshire to Canada around 1905?

He was born about 1880 and I have a land grant record for Saskatchewan which I believe relates to him dated Dec 1907.

Any other details about his arrival and any other family would be welcome.

Many thanks,

Adrian Jordin

Hi,

There was a census taken in the North West Provinces in 1906.

It is partially transcribed here

If you have the details from the land grant record for Saskatchewan, you should be able to locate him on the census, using the National site.  You need to locate the township on the map and then do a page by page search.

Happy hunting

Thank you Sue,

Found him (and his servant !)

Funny how they keep a census of the livestock as well as the people. :)

Many thanks for your help
