My connection with JOURDAIN is very distant, one of my grandfather's sisters-in-law having been born Ada JOURDAIN 17.2.1873 Walworth Surrey, illegitimate daughter of Helen Jane JOURDAIN of a Spitalfields family. Very recently, contact has been made with another JOURDAIN researcher, who has generously given me details of the connecting family, running Ada's line back several generations to: Guillaume JOURDAIN, born 1665, (son of David JOURDAIN & ? PERIGAL), watchmaker, married 4.2.1694 Anne L'ESTOURGEON at London St James Dukes Place, died 1747. As yet, none of this information has been verified by me, and so I am presenting it here at face value. Does anyone see a connection with this JOURDAIN family?, and can anyone amplify any of the information on Guillaume JOURDAIN or his parents?
