Hi. I have recently found the origins of my JORDAN and CONLON family to Kilgarvan which is near Ballina, Co Mayo   Henry JORDAN born abt 1809 of Kilgarvan married (date and place unknown) Margaret CONLON born abt 1811 of Kilgarvan Their children Anne born 1835 Liverpool, England James born 1838 Liverpool England Henry born 1842 Kilgarvan, Co Mayo John born 1846 Kilgarvan, Co Mayo Edward born 12 May 1850 Liverpool, England.   I have them in the 1851 census living at 5 Ct New Bird Street, Liverpool and can trace them in all the following census.   I have not found them in the 1841 which could mean they where already back in Ireland as a family. I tried just Henry name who might have been in Liverpool working, while the rest of the family went back to Co Mayo but I had no success.   All known addresses for them are in Liverpool, are very close to the docks.(ie two or three roads) and Henry's occupation was a dock lab.     I found one unusual thing with this Jordan family, the name John was used just once in the1846. Edward born 1850 has on his marriage certificate of 1877  his fathers name as 'John.' This has been a red herring for nearly 10 years and found to be incorrect. Edward signed his own name on the marriage certificate and Margaret put her X but I suppose that doesn't mean Edwards was literate, maybe he could just do his name and not recognise an error.     Does anyone recognise this family? Does anyone know of any sources I can use for records for County Mayo?  I cannot confirm a religion to date either in Irealnd nor Liverpool. Edward married in a catholic church in Liverpool 1877. but could this relate to his wifes religion?      While I cannot see a connection to your JORDAN family there may be one waiting to be found!

I do not know if Mayo is correct but need to start somewhere. I only have a death date in SD Jan. 16, 1892. Possible children Frances for sure she married my grtgrt grandfather Thomas A Mernaugh from Wexford Co--pretty sure. Jordon's also may be from Wicklow co.
