Wait a while

Post by wassol » Sat Aug 30, 2008 11:58 am

A couple of years ago I asked for advice about my ggreat grandfather Cormick Jordon,but with the info that I had at that time it looked like I had hit a dead end.
With time I have found him in the British Army
He appeared in 1841 and again in 1861 in England. His marriage certificate gave me his regiment and with this I have just obtained a copy of his discharge papers.
Also a discription of him and where he was born in Ireland.
I just wanted to say thank you to those who offered advice and say that sometimes a lot of patience pays off

I am so glad to hear that your patience and persistence paid off :D

You often find that the folks you're searching for had no conception that decades and centuries later, we'd be looking for them!
Cheers.
