Jordan Family
« on: Tuesday 27 December 11 11:52 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for Henry (b1811 in Wigton), Mary (nee Anderson b 1820 in Wigton) Jordan and I think they had two boys Richard & James born around 1854. Henry & Mary married in Wigton in 1848. They were living in wigton in 1851 with Henry's father Richard and niece Sarah Lowry. I cannot find them in any later census, and cannot find any record of them leaving the country.
Any help gratefully received.

Hi Carol,
JAMES and RICHARD Jordan were Christened 28 February 1854, Wigton, Cumberland to HENRY/MARY
There was also an ELIZABETH Christened 04 July 1856 to them also.

2 Birth Regs for a Richard Jordan in Wigton, June 1853 and Dec 1853
1 Birth Reg for a James Jordan in Wigton, September 1851

The only Elizabeth I can find is a Betsey Jordan, June 1853 Reg Wigton.

Sorry I cant find them in 1861 either.

Trish :)

Thanks Trish.
I think Elizabeth died, I found a baptism on the 4th july, and a burial on the 6th of July 1856.
Well I will just have to keep looking.

Have found a Henry, Mary, James & Richard Jordan listed on 'Find my Past' on the 'Government Gazettes, Victoria 1861 - 1875. They are all listed under 1861. Could anyone tell me what this is, have they all gone to live in australia do you think?
