WILLIAM JORDAN PRICE

[nanny jan]

on 1901 it states son 7mths
on 1911 where he is with his mother and stepfather it states adopted son aged 10

Could it be that they are not his mother and stepfather?  In the case of a widow with children remarrying I have seen "wife's son/daughter " used and not "adopted son".

Mary Ann Stanley and Thomas Price married in 1890.  10 years was a long time for a first child, I would agree about the possible 'adoption'

The mothers details all match .... St Helens being her place of birth

and for Maureen ..... had another look and I see what you mean    will have a check on the name william jordan and see what comes up .... Thanks for pointing that out

and Rosie ... she is Mary Ann

Right will go check out William Jordan and see what I can get

A William Jordan birth reg'd Sept.qtr.1900 West Derby (which covered Liverpool).

A William Jordan bc.1900 died Liverpool North Sept.1961.   

Would think these are the same person and that he was indeed 'adopted' although there was nothing formal done in those days.

Yes I have found those two entries as well so looks as though I never checked everything properly to start with .... Thank you everyone for your help and fresh eyes
