Research Note: Ann Jordan and Honora Jordan are probably the same person. Ann is found only on the 1851 census; Honora is not on the 1851 census. Ann's age on the 1851 census is 11; but all family members' ages are off by 5 years compared to the 1861 census. Neither Ann nor Honora have been found on the 1861 census. Honora's age on marriage registration, on 1871 & 1881 censuses, and on death record indicate birth year 1845-1847 which aligns with Ann's birth year if it is off by 5 years on the 1851 census. No other record of Ann has been found.
