- 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.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
