Right so the Esther and thomas in workhouse in 1871 are not kids of Edwin Westwood and mary ann Jordan

so this one
WESTWOOD, ESTHER JORDAN Order
GRO Reference: 1867 S Quarter in DUDLEY Volume 06C Page 103

is probably dau of Mary ann Jordan who marries Edwin Westwood?

but they were not in workhouse.

will amend on bcc re ref to workhouse

then giving up on this thread as not a clue what I need to add

I think the Esther Jordan grand dau is Esther Westwood.

looks like it Ok thanks Jimmy

flagging to archive if all done with.

N L the year on this marriage should be 1862, not 1842.

13th April 1842 St Thomas Dudley
Edwin Westwood full bach puddler Dudley Thomas Westwood dead miner
Mary Ann Jordan minor spinster Dudley James Jordan dead Publican
