Hi Amanda, Many thanks for the info on James and Henrietta, it's a real gem. From what you have told me about your research, you have the correct info for the Jordan family. I will put some further info together for you over the next couple of days, if thats ok with you. I am going through the Hampshire Bishops Transcripts at the moment for you, to see if there is anything about Frederick & Emma Sweetingham etc. Will be in touch soon. Regards Steve Amanda Monsen <[email protected]> wrote: HI Steve, Thanks for making contact. James & Henrietta married then had Maggie May B8/10/1883, Herbert James B1885, and possibly Ernest Edwin B1887 in Sway before immigrating to Australia in 1887 (I don't have any further information, yet!). They settled in Mount Morgan in Queensland and had a further 5 children (Charkes Joseph B 1890, William Alexander B1891, John Henry B 1892, Edith Maud B 6/2/1897 & James Robert B1901 - all in Mount Morgan, QLD). Edith Maud was my Great Grandma. Perhaps there were more children as there are gaps between John, Edith & James. I would really like it if you could help me with confirming the details I have for James Jordan and his parents, grand parents, etc. I have a lot for his side but have got it all of ancestry.com.au relying on other's research. I have James B 1851 in Sway with his Father being Charles Jordan B 1821 Hampshire, His mum being Edith Gates B 1829 Sway. Charles parents being Charles B 1791 Hampshire, Ann (maidne name unknown) B 1796 Hampshire Edith's parents being Joseph Gates B 1803 hampshire, Mary Ann Whicher B 11/8/1807 England. Does any of that agree with what you have? I'm really nervous my research was flawed. Please help. Thanks you!

Thanks. > > Steve, in Nottingham > > Amanda Monsen wrote: > > Hello, I am appealing for help with my research into the Sweetingham's of Sway. I am very interested in all information to do with Frederick Sweetingham B1810 Southampton who married Emma (maiden name unknown) B 1811 Salisbury, Wiltshire. I know they had 6 children (Walter, Emma, Henrietta, Agnes, George & Lavinia) all born in Sway. Henrietta B 1844 is my ggg grandma on my mums side. I know she had a daughter as I sent away for the birth cert. It seems the daughter (Henrietta Flora) was illegitimate as there is no father on birth certificate. Henrietta Flora married James Jordan in Sway then shortly after immigrated to Australia - where I am. > > I have all the census results for the family except 1841. Also There is no mention of the Sweetingham's in Rev Comyns "Sway Snippets" of 1812ish, which would suggest that Frederick didn't arrive until after that. I suppose I am after any information to do with the family history and would be so grateful for anyone's kind assistance or suggestions. I am new to FH and very eager for information. > > Thanks, Amanda in Sydney Australia > > _________________________________________________________________ > Search for local singles online @ Lavalife - Click here > http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Flavalife9%2Eninemsn%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fclickthru%2Fclickthru%2Eact%3Fid%3Dninemsn%26context%3Dan99%26locale%3Den%5FAU%26a%3D30290&_t=764581033&_r=email_taglines_Search_OCT07&_m=EXT > For FREE online parish register transcriptions visit the Hampshire OPC at www.knightroots.co.uk > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > For FREE online parish register transcriptions visit the Hampshire OPC at www.knightroots.co.uk > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ You dream job is up for grabs.
