Hi Listers, I am trying to find the baptism details for my Grt-Grt-Grandfather - William Lachlan JORDAN. 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! *

John - I think some of the parish records have been lost. I have never been able to find a baptism for an ancestor who resided in Rosemarket in the late 1790's - 1800's, was married in Steynton parish, and had relatives living in Burton, Llanstadwell, and Llangwm. The LDS film numbers for Llanstadwell are 1238692 and 105182, item 2. If you have a Family History Center near you, you can order the film. You can also contact the Pembroke Record Office in Haverfordwest and see if someone can look thru the quarter session and petty session records for you. William's father may have been ordered to provide support for him. Their fees for providing searches are reasonable. William would not have been listed by his father's surname in the LDS records for this time period. They used patronymics to index the records, so he would probably have been listed as William Richard rather than Jordan. That is assuming he used his natural father's name at all. Do you know the mother's name?
