Agnes (Boocock) Jordan

 

NOTES:
1: Agnes Boocock emigrated to the USA in the 1890s where she met her husband. She lived the rest of her life in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and, as far as I can tell, never visited England again.
2: I find it hard to believe that there was an 11 year age gap between Francis J. and Thomas A. Jordan. It is possible - but unusual. There may have been other children born between that did not survive.
3: The above information is based on stories related to me by my late cousin Elsie (Swarbrick) Banks and from cards, letters and photographs given to me by Elsie, including the above photo.
