(The Company of Watermen & Lightermen of the River Thames binding records 1692-1949
82,238 records of apprentice binding books, which include details of each apprentice's binding to his master.

The Company of Watermen & Lightermen of the River Thames reassignments 1688-1908
A list of apprentices who were reassigned from one master to another ? 12,410 records, including information about both masters and apprentices.)

What a terribly tragic story.


Regarding Alphonso's father - I suppose the father on his birth certificate is going to be named as James Jordan. Whether it was really James Manly or not, as Susette's name was still Jordan. No sign of a marriage.

All the children except Alfred and Frederick, got married under the name of Jordan.

I can't see a very likely death for James Jordan. Unless it's the one born 1830 died 1869 Whitechapel. Maybe he died in the London Hospital.

A tree on ancestry has James John Jordan and info on his sons.There are newspaper reports on the deaths etc.

James John Jordan a lighterman was on his way home from work to attend his sons funeral and was killed in a accident in the street. He died 27/15/1905.

His son George a lighterman was pulled from the river in Wapping by his dad 21/12/1905 born 1882.
George was the second son of James John's to drown in the river.

James John Jordan 1st married Mary Ann Ballard 4/7/1875 dad James William Jordan deceased. He then married Ellen Jane Stubbs.

Jordan James John Greenwich 1d 458


(1861 FMP, James W Jordan, Sussette M)

This will be the daughter S M Manly from the 1871 census, although DOB different:

Susan Jordan

Reference ID: P 92/ALL 1/16 p 230



And daughter Louisa from 1871 census:

Births Sep 1854 (>99%)
JORDAN Louisa Matilda Greenwich 1d 479

??? Age doesn't match censuses:

Deaths Jun 1903 (>99%)
Jordan Sussetta 78 St. Olave 1d 103

I see James Jordan was one of the witnesses of Alfred Manley's marriage.

The other one was Martha Matthews, who was also witnessed James Jordan's marriage in 1890.

1901 as mentioned by Mary:

Susette Rose Jordan

Susette Rose Jordan is with son James John Jordan born 1853 in 1901.James John baptised 8/8/1852 by Susette Rosina and James William Jordan



It sure looks like the same family now
Alfred Manley 1871 had Suzette Rosina Manley 1904 she married William H Fordham in 1937

Oh to be bright eyed and bushy tailed Margee - and to understand things technical !!

I'm going to have to come back to the 1871 Census mentioned. Haven't been able to find Matha or Louise in any of the census with parents names that possibly match up with the initials. Got to cook dinner now.

Thanks everyone. x

First link doesn't work because there's a comma after the thread number.

The second link working thank you Potty - but the first one still isn't - strange!

Just been on the thread, greyghost, still there!

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1354649

This link works - don't know what happened with the first one!.

Hi Potty,
That is one of my trees on Ancestry. It's been difficult trying to work out who Frederick & Alphonso's parents were. All I knew is that they were all living together in 1881 and listed as sons. The father's birth info made it difficult for me as well. Well you know what I had to go on as I've listed it all for you. I just couldn't see the path.

Tried to look at other thread - Error message - Thread does not exist!!

Thank you for the 1871 Census transcript, You are right it does look a fit. Just got to figure out the parents names. Hopefully it starts with Susan.

There is a tree on Ancestry which has Alphonso & Frederick's parents as James Manley and Susan Adams - pretty sure that is the wrong couple
