Hi, my father was the illegitimate son of Anthony Jordan. However, because it was the result of an affair, my father was registered on the birth certificate as being the son of his mother's husband. Shortly before Anthony Jordan died, he reconnected with my father (who also passed away in 2007). My father never asked about the Jordan family history, so other than a couple of photographs I know nothing about my grandfather and his family or his other children. The information that I have seen posted on the website has been really helpful, but I was wondering if Amanda might be interested in getting in contact. Sorry to do this on such a public forum, but I am not sure how else to get in contact. Many thanks

Hi there - tried sending you a PM to give Amanda's email address (as advised by moderator) but the message was not sent as your 'inbox full'. Therefore, no idea how to put you two in touch - any ideas?
Cheers Bill

Thanks for the information Roy G and I will certainly check out the website. I have written a short article on this subject - about 800 words - mainly based on the only 1921 reference I have found. I will try to attach to this post but if unsuccessful I can send it to you and Andy for your comments.

Have since found that George Richardson was charged with 'inciting to riot' and the evidence was that he was carrying a copy of Punch - a Communist Party broadsheet - and shouting 'Up the Russians'. He was found guilty and sentenced to 1 month hard labour or fine of £5, which he paid.
William Batchelor was probably William Henry Batchelor born Dec 1899. Accused of shouting 'They would be no bloody good without their houses (horses?). What a brave lot of b******s, go for them, they won't hurt you'. Found guilty and sentenced to 1 month hard labour.
Albert Lawrence was born around 1878 but I can find no birth record. He was charged with assulting Police Sgt Wells and P.C Minton and sentenced to 6 month hard labour.
Still searching and any help appreciated!!!

Thanks for any help!!! Sorry for any spelling mistakes as all taken from poor, hand typed list

Am working on the Jordan family history for a good friend's 60th birthday.
Had one false start where she thought her family had Irish connections but she was 2 generations out.
Now have Thomas JORDAN born about 1831 in Ireland. He married Mary ?? who was born about 1834 in Ireland. By 1861 they were living in Bolton, England. So any information about births of Thomas and Mary in Ireland and their marriage would be great.
Also, is there any way to find when they moved to England.
Thanks Bill
