Hello,
I’m trying to trace any decendants of Mary Bradshaw born in 1883 in Hull, East Yorkshire.
I have discovered she married a Christopher William Jordan in 1903. In the 1911 census they were living at 749 Hessle Road Hull. They had one son, Laurence William aged 7 years and one daughter
Amy Lillian age 3 years. This is were the trail has run cold. Any help would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Nick Uebel

1939 National Register (available on FindMyPast) has:
Christopher W Jordan, b 1881
Mary A Jordan, b 1882
Mary Jordan (Wright), b 1921
+ 1 more person
+ 2 more people who are officially closed
They are at Glandford Brigg Rural District, Lincolnshire

If you search freebmd using surname Jordan mmn Bradshaw from 1911 there are two more possible births in the Hull area ;)

Is this him?
Probate Index Entry
Christopher William Jordan of Carr Farm Ulceby Lincs and of Billingsgate Kingston Upon Hull died 26 April 1941 at Anlaby Road Kingston Upon Hull. Probate to Joseph Jordan wholesale fish merchant and William Bassett Davies Solicitor Effects £10644 11s 1d
If so, a copy of the Will might help you name descendents
Death index indicates this chap was 59 when he died.

Two births up to 1939
Births Jun 1913
Jordan Elsie M Bradshaw Sculcoates 9d 282
Births Mar 1921
Jordan Christopher R Bradshaw Hull 9d 540
Looks like Christopher died in 1997.
Can't see any Mary Jordan (Wright) with the parents and the two children listed. Two records are closed. Don't know if they were Land Girls/Boys working on the farm or possibly grandchildren.

Amy Lilian Jordan's birth was registered Jun qtr 1908 Sculcoates.
She married Jun qtr 1938 Glanford Brigg to Wilfred Sharman Larwood.
She died as Amy Lilian Larwood (birthdate 20 Mar 1908) in Havering district, Mar qtr 1974.
There are two female Larwood/Jordan births, in 1941 and 1946 respectively, which may be relevant - see FreeBMD for details as they are too recent to name here.
-
Wilfred Sharman Larwood died in 2003, grant and will worth obtaining for information.
