William Jordan from Blackburn arrives 1906 age 20

It's possible.

He was 16 in 1901, both his parents are dead by 1905, he has no siblings, and his step father sets up home and had a baby in 1907, 18 months after his mother had died.

I've not really given him much thought until the last couple of weeks, i did a bit a few years ago on him, but then left it...

Now he's bugging me again, he was technically family but he's just vanished...

I think the Edward choice was his mother's??

As he got older he was using William....

It's an interesting find, and if he's mine a sad end.... I wanted to find him alive and well somwehere....

Hmmm wonder if he's on the abscent voters poll for Lancashire.... thats online too!

Okay, in 1891 he's Edward and in 1901 he's William E. Suggests he went by Edward.
