Hi Chris,

I found this death index in the NSW bmd.

22421/1977    JORDON    THOMAS    DIED BURWOOD    079

Do you have a year of birth for Thomas which might help as this fellow was aged 79

On http://naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx there is a Thomas Jordan who arrived in 1956 with a wife and 2 daughters (named).  Could this be him?

As giblet said a birthdate would help and parent's names would help also if known as it is not an uncommon name.

There are some death notices from newspapers here http://ryersonindex.net/search.php

To all helping, these previous posts might be useful:

It appears that Thomas Jordan was born circa 1908 (age 3 in 1911 UK census family name is spelt JARDEN); Father William; Mother Martha Baggaley/Baggley

I think Ros may be on to something with Thomas JORDAN death 19/12/1980 (Guildford Cemetery)

The 'Grantee' Maureen Daisy BRITTEN may be a daughter of Thomas JORDAN
Marriage 1965: Maureen Daisy JORDAN and Ian David BRITTEN; Perth
