- Notes: I have been looking for my GG Grandfather, Thomas Jordan for a number of years and have just managed to locate him with the release of the Chelsea pensioner records.
So far I have found, Daniel born 1804, Cork Myles Jordan born 1806,Cork Thomas Jordan born August 1808, Cork Mary Jordan born 1810, Cork. Thomas enlisted with the 60th regiment of foot in 1826 in Cork, in 1832 he transferred to the 99th regiment and was posted to Australia about 1843. He was discharged in 1847 as medically unfit. He was also a carpenter by trade. Thomas had two daughters Eliza b. abt 1839, I think in Ireland and Mary Ellen. born 1842 in Chatham, Kent, where the regiment was prior to being shipped to Australia. He may have had more children, but have been unable to locate any. I found Myles in a list of deserters in 1835 from the 99th regiment, located his death in Australia and noticed Daniel buried at the same place. That is how I found your tree. Thomas was born in the parish of St Peters, Cork, to Thomas Jordan and Elizabeth Bourke. In 1856 he was a resident of Tamworth and in 1880 he was in Gongolgong, taken from a letter he wrote to the Chelsea pension board. That is about all I know about him. My tree is as follows. Thomas b. 1808 daughter Eliza married Samuel John Swain. had Frances Maud Swain. abt 1872, probably Tamworth area, birth not recorded. daughter Mary Ellen married James Douglas Willoughby. had James Douglas Willoughby b. 1868 Warialda, NSW James Douglas Willoughby married Frances Maude Swain (cousins) had Harold Jordan Willoughby 1896, New Zealand. |
