Hi Maureen

Many thanks for helping me again - I see what you mean about the similar names, no wonder I couldnt find them ! You are clever.
Strangely, a great aunt mentioned the name Jordan the other week but I couldnt see a connection until now.
Sue

Hi Tracy

Yes, thats them in 1881 - wish I could find out more about Alphonsa !!

Many thanks
Sue

Super Maureen. I remember searching for that one. Never thought of Susette.

Susan Jordon 21

Trouble with my suggestion is that I can not find a marriage to James Manley to fit or a death of James Jordon.

Susannah R Jordan married in 1875 and can not find her in 1871 to rule out my suggestion

Louisa Matilda Jordan married in 1876


Problem could be with the spelling of Jordon, Jordan or Jorden etc

Many thanks Maureen & Ozbird for your help - no wonder I couldnt find anyone in census or bmd with all those name changes

Certainly a very interesting story here - any more info you might have time to find very much appreciated
