Thank you all for the help with my original query. It has been wonderful to get such a response.
Second brainteaser!! I believe that George's parents were a Thomas and Elizabeth Jordan, married 1810 St Briavels, and I have a Will of Thomas Jordan (Blacksmith) died Aug. 1855.of Camomile Green, West Dean.
He names his wife Elizabeth and Sons, George, Edward, John(who got the Smith shop)William and Joseph. (there must have been some girls surely?) 1851 Census shows them with Joseph at home, but how can I confirm the link that my George is their first son? My George married 1836 to Sarah Johnson in Ruardean. Pre-registration!!! Were parents named then?
Is there anyone who could look at the Parish Registration entry to see if parents are named for me please? Or can anyone come up with another method of proof? Does his baptism say who he is the son of. On the Censu he says he was born at Ruardean c. 1812. Who has the FULL transcription of these baptisms now please? Kindest regards to you all.
