Hi all,
Thanks to the wonderful help I received from some of you to help me get William Jordan's marriage certificate, I now have a copy of it. Very surprised with how quickly it arrived from the Uk to Australia!
I now know that William Jordan, who married Emma Timpson on 17th July 1845 at Portsmouth, was a cork cutter (though he later became a bricklayer and mason) and his father's name was James (or I am assuming that, as his name is listed with a Ja - and a small underlined s) and his father's occupation was a carpenter. I also found through the birth certificate of one of his children, that William was born in Middlesex around 1823.
I have no idea how to use this information to go back further with my ancestors. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Tammie
