Thank you Ladyhawk    Perhaps this thread needs to be locked so that information is not duplicated.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this search on the JORDAN family. I showed the results to my friend who was really, really happy.
Finally found her Irish roots which were 2 generations earlier than family whispers had suggested. Concluded at Thomas JORDAN who married Mary CARRAHER on 29 Dec 1852 in Rooskey IRE. This seems to be the best family match since there eldest son Anthony was born in Bury in 1856 so they must have 'come over' between 1852 and 1856.
Thanks again to all and any other little titbits would be appreciated.
Bill

There's a thread re Martha Bramwell on this site. She was Anthony Jordan seniors' wife. It would be worth Bill having a look as it gives quite a bit of detail about Anthony juniors mothers familiy. Anthony Jordan Senior was my Great Grand Father

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 interestedp, I have spoken to Amanda Wells (nee Jordan) and been asked to give out her email of (*) in the hope that you get in touch with her directly.
Cheers Bill

Hi Bill

I suggest that you remove the email address and send it via a pm, otherwise Amanda is likely to get bombarded with spam or worse.
