I have a Maria Jordan b.c 1839 who lived in Cramlington after her marriage in 1879 to Hugh McNally, b 1833. Hugh died as the result of an accident in Cramlington colliery in 1885 (details on this site). Both were Irish, although one of the census records for Maria says she was born in Glasgow, which conflicts with other evidence. There is anecdotal evidence that she came from Co. Monaghan, but that is not proven. I wonder if the James Jordan listed on this site is a relation of Maria?
