This is a notice in the Monmouthshire Merlin February 12th 1860
Marriage of Mr River JORDAN of East Dean to Miss Christiana NASH of West Dean

It makes you wonder if his parents liked him or whether they simply opened the bible at a random page and then stabbed with a pin.

My own parents didn't check what my initials would be before naming me Frances Ann so I have spent my life as sweet F A :o so I sympathise with poor River.

I have found a previous River Jordan born in 1725. I think the name was taken down through the family from that time on.
