John Jordan born 1816 in Milford, Pembroke

Hi Carol
A lot of my Jordan material I found in various Jordan family files at Haverfordwest Library in 1987. Various trees etc deposited over the years by a number of people, and much without dates etc. As they were from the Jordan and Phillips family I have accepted the info as "reasonably accurate".
Children of David Jordan and Margaret Phillips
1. Margaret    married George Edwards
2. Owen    buried Llanstadwell  1774
3. Anne   married David Brown of Scotland
4. Eleanor  buried Llanstadwell  1774
5. Dorothy  married 7 Apr 1801, at Llanstadell, to Joseph Clare, Mariner
6. Elizabeth  buried Llanstadwell  1772
7. Richard   1774-1828  father of William Lachlan Jordan
8. Rebecca  baptised 16 June 1774 at Llanstadwell.
I have been through any available parish records for Llanstadwell, Burton, Llangwm, Steynton and all surrounding parishes - very hit and miss.

I have found the marriage of a Daniel BROWN, mariner to Ann JORDEN in Steyton, Pembrokeshire on 26th January 1790.  Could this be the right marriage for a sister of Richard JORDAN?  It was witnessed by a Jane JORDAN.  Interestingly the marriage previous to this in the Steynton register was witnessed by a Dorothy JORDAN.

Hi Carol.  I am certain the marriage you found for Anne Jorden to Daniel Brown is the right one. Have you seen the entry for Daniel on welshmariners.org.uk.
William Lachlan Jordan only appears on one UK census, 1861, when he was living in Kent. He only states that he was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, but does not give a place.
He must certainly have had contact with the daughter of Richard and Margaret, Eliza born 1811, as Eliza named one of her children Hatton Lloyd, and the Hatton name comes from The Bastone family, William L. Jordan's wifes family.
I have found Daniel Brown buried 7 Jan 1841 at Steynton. Wife Anne buried 23 December 1828, also at Steynton. Only one child found so far, Margaret Phillips Brown, bapt3 Feb 1791 at Steynton.

Hi John

Thanks for all the details.  Lots for me to follow up on there.  I haven't seen the information about Daniel BROWN on the welshmariners.org.uk site, but did note it said he was a mariner on the marriage details.

Off to do some more searching this week.

Regards

Carol
