Thanks - I'm not a member of ancestry either - too mean.

There were definitely several families of Jordans in the Barnwood/Churchdown area back then. Apart from the marriage of Sarah which started this, I haven't yet found links between them and any of the Jordans living in the Lydbrook and Coleford areas. It seems that there has to be a family connection pre-1800. Off-hand I'd have said it would be more likely to be a move from the Forest to Gloucester - villages like Lydbrook and Ruardean were very tightly-knit places, hard for outsiders to move in to.
