Dear John, I don't have baptisms, sorry. There are no Jordan males listed in the Rhos Hundred marriages before 1813..the last shown is James Jordan who married Sarah Davies at Haverfordwest St. Martin in 1786. However, Dorothy Jordan married Joseph Clare in 1801 at Llanstadwell. (If Richard was perhaps Dorothy's brother, I wonder if he signed as a witness at this marriage?) Have you looked for possible Wills on The National Library pre 1858 Will Probate site? I would suggest you have a look at the Llanstadwell area for Wills around that time .. sometimes there is a stray mention, or an ancestor compiles someone's Inventory. Maybe there are Jordan family Wills proved elsewhere which might provide a clue. No doubt your Richard, and maybe some of his kinsmen, were named for their ancestor Richard Jordan of Jordanston, Llanstadwell who died in 1580 and left ten sons and two daughters. Contrary to your expectations, you may find the father you seek. Richard Jordan, listed on the baptism...I have seen several written as "illegitimate son of ............ by ........." As your ancestor was given the Jordan surname, I doubt there will be an order against the father for maintenance......"naturals", I've found, were sometimes absorbed into the family without legal paperwork being required, or so it seems. If there was any maintenance record, Pembrokeshire Records Office would probably be able to help.

I am certain he was born out of wedlock and that his parents never married. William was born c.1800/01 and stated on the 1861 census he was born in Pembrokeshire. The Jordan family resided at Dumpledale (now Ashdale) and appear in the registers for Llangwm, Burton, Rosemarket and Steynton. Find My Past have all the parish registers for these parishes and surrounding ones but do not seem to have Llanstadwell, and having looked in all the surrounding parishes, I am hoping to find William in the only place I have not/cannot look. I know that William's father was Richard Jordan, but he will probably not be named on the baptism. Thus, I would like to find all the illegitimate "William's" from the Llanstadwell baptisms c. 1799-1803. Does anyone have access to the baptism records for Llanstadwell? -- John Goold Warehouse Supervisor - Tasmania 15 Killafaddy Road M: 0411 343 048Newstead, Tas. 7250 F: 03 63 392399 SealedAir.comjohn.goold@SealedAir.com My Mission Statement: *To understand what our customers want and create solutions that deliver more than they expect in ways they never expected! * ================================ Dyfed list REVISED resources http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html [Dec2012] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DYFED-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
