3 Introduction This document contains historic census information for our Jordan, Scholdberg and Steward ancestors and is available on Our Jordan Family Web Pages as part of our Jordan family history. For ease of use, the above Table of Contents includes active links along with a simplified genealogy chart to assist in selecting items of interest. Merely touch the line or page number to move to a section of interest. Following are Jordan Family Census Records for three family surnames that led to our current Jordans all of whom are part of The Jordan Story. The Census Records begin with the John Isaac and Sarah Steward Family of Poplar, England and include some of their descendants; one branch of which led to the Scholdbergs and Jordans of Poplar and later the Jordans of Chicago. The key families are: 1. The Steward Family 2. The Scholdberg/Jordan Family Census Records were obtained from a number of sources and these are generally indicated in the notes section following each transcribed census record. The census and thus census records are organized around households and thus the various census records that are indexed in the above Table of Contents are titled by the Head of Household and their spouse. Census records for an individual when younger are generally with their parent s. Spellings of names and places vary for different records and sometimes individuals changed some part of their names or used nicknames or abbreviations. In the transcriptions that follows, the names are transcribed as they were recorded in the original record source. In order to help preserve our Jordan family history and to make that history more widely available, Our Jordan Family Web Pages was created in the early years of the 21st century. While quite successful in its goals, it became clear with the passage of time, that a web site with many hundreds of pages was not easy to print or to electronically download. Thus in the later part of the first decade of the 21st century, I began to compile various categories of information such as Jordan Family Address Lists, Jordan Family Census Records, Jordan Genealogy Source Records, Oscar Scholdberg s Voyages, Recollections of the Jordans and the Jordan Stories into pdf documents. Such pdf files will make it easier to download files for preservation on our many computers and they will also allow much easier printing of pages and for studied analysis as desired. As part of this effort, a Jordan PDF Downloads web page was created. From this page, all currently available pdf s from Our Jordan Family Web Pages can be accessed. You are encouraged to download the various Jordan, Scholdberg, and Steward pdf files, not only for your own study but to also help preserve The Jordan Story Census - 3" Introduction

4 for future generations hard to obtain data and information about our common Jordan, Scholdberg and Steward origins and history. Files are updated every once in a while, and checking about once a year is a reasonable frequency. Version dates are shown at the beginning of the Table of Contents. You may have noted that the current file is quite lengthy and contains information for not only the Jordans but also the Stewards and Scholdbergs. While it might have made sense to focus this document on one family or a family line with the same surname, my worry was that there would have been a proliferation of pdf files. That is, many pdf files instead of just one for the Jordan, Scholdberg, and Steward Census Records. Many scattered files and associated updates would make it harder for all of us to find and help preserve our Jordan family history. Thus all have been placed within the current file.

8 Notes V. Elizabeth Sally Steward born 3 October 1836 in Poplar, England 1. A January 2008 search of the Free BMD index showed a Sarah Steward who died in Poplar in 2Q1851, volume 2, page 230. This would appear to be our Sarah Steward as it is the only Sarah Steward death in Poplar from 1841 to A January 2008 search of the Free BMD index showed: a) John Steward who died in Poplar in 1Q1865, volume 1c, page 562, and b) John Steward, age 80 who died in Poplar in 3Q1871, volume 1c, page 458. The 80 year old, born about 1791 possibly is our John Isaac Steward. He should also be listed in the 1861 and 1871 census. It might also be that the John Steward who died in 1865 was married to Jane. He would have been about age 35 if this is so. 3. A January 2008 search of the Free BMD index showed John Isaac Steward married Jane Ann Hooper 2Q1854, volume 1c, page The Church record shows that it was on 5 June Three variants have now been seen on Robert Steward s middle name: Melvin, Melville, and Melbourne. It is not clear if he changed it or if there were misunderstandings when it was written. 5. Last Update to our Steward Family Genealogy: 7/23/2012. The Jordan Story Census-" 8 Steward Family Introduction

9 John and Sarah Steward s Census Records To date, the earliest known Stewards ascending from our Scholdberg and Jordan lines are John Steward and Sarah Richman. They married in Poplar, England on 26 November 1820 at St Dunstan in Stepney, County of Middlesex in England. Stepney is in the borough of Tower Hamlets. At the time or shortly thereafter they lived in the nearby town of Poplar and remained there for the duration for their lives. Census Records Census Records found are: 1. John and Sarah Steward s 1841 Census Record for Poplar, England 2. John and Sarah Steward s 1851 Census Record for Poplar, England 3. John and Sarah Steward s 1861 Census Record for Poplar, England It is thought that Sarah Steward died shortly after the 1851 Census. John s destiny is unknown and while he has been searched for with and without Sarah for 1861 and also with relatives, no 1861 record Census record for John and Sarah Steward has been found. However, a blank record, linked above has been inserted should one be found. The Jordan Story Census-" 9 John and Sarah Steward s Census Records

11 1841 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. The above census data was found in a May 2006 search by Diane Cuseil. 2. The data is from HO 107/702/412, Folio 13, page It is believed that the John and Sarah Steward in this 1841 Census record are the parents of my Joseph John Steward. From Joseph John Steward's Marriage Registration in 1848 he indicated that his father s name was John Isaac Steward, a shipwright, a perfect occupation match. In addition other data indicates that Joseph John Steward was born between 1824 and1826 thus matching the age of 15 for the 1841 census. Finally, though it might be co-incidence, the Joseph listed above had a daughter named Elizabeth the same as his sister. However it is more likely she was named after her mother Elizabeth Holloway. 4. There is also good linkage to the 1851 Census Record. 5.

13 1851 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. The above census data was found in a May 2006 search by Diane Cuseil. 2. The data is from HO 107/1556, Folio 632, page It is believed that the John and Sarah Stewart [d] family above in the 1851 Census is the same as the one, also shown above, for the 1841 Census. In particular, names, ages, and occupations match. Son Joseph Steward was in the 1841 family, but he was married by 1851 and had his own household. Daughter Elizabeth is missing. She would have been about 15 years old. It is possible that she died or perhaps married. 4. A check of Free BMD for deaths for John, Sarah, and Elizabeth Stewards in Poplar yielded the following results: a) Sarah Steward, June quarter 1851, the only Sarah Steward death in Poplar from 1841 to b) John Steward March quarter 1865 c) Elizabeth Steward December quarter This death data suggests that the Sarah Steward in the above 1851 Census record probably died later in John Steward appears to have lived on and may yet be found in the 1861 Census, although it is possible that the 1865 Steward death is his son. It is unknown whether the Elizabeth Steward who died in 1864 was their child and was somehow was missed in the 1851 Census. On the other hand, it is possible John and Sarah s Elizabeth was married by If you wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Dave directly. 7.

16 Robert and Jemima Steward s Census Records Robert Melville Steward was born about 1821 in either Stepney or Poplar England. His parents were John and Sarah Steward. Robert Steward does not directly ascend from our Scholdberg and Jordan lines, but he is the older brother of Joseph John Steward who does. Robert Melville Steward married Jemima Mary Miller on 27 April 1845 at St. Anne's, Limehouse, County of Middlesex, England. It was hoped that for 1861 there might be some other family members. However, there was none. For the 1851 Census, Jemima, a widow with hers and Roberts children is living at the same address as Joseph and Elizabeth Steward; Joseph is her brother-in-law. Thus it appears that Robert passed away shortly before the 1851 Census. No death records have yet been found for him. Robert has also not been found in the 1841 Census. For the 1861 Census, Jemima, unmarried is living with her children. It was hoped that for 1861 there might be some other family members. However, there was none.

If you wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Dave directly. 2. The family name is Steward but shown as Stewart in the 1861 Census. 3. Based on Baptismal Records, daughter Jemima Mary was born 26 March 1846 and Louisa was born 26 April 1848 to Robert and Jemima Steward. 4. The 1851 Census Record showed a daughter Susan, but no baptismal record was found nor is she listed in the 1861 record. It is the likely the daughter Susan in the 1851 Census is actually Louisa Steward. 5. The mystery child is Henry Stewart, age 7 and born about This is after Jemima was shown as a widow in the 1851 Census. It would appear that Henry was born out-of-wedlock, but there are other possibilities. 6. As of January 2010, no death date for a Robert Steward in the timeframe in Poplar has been found, though it is possible he died elsewhere. 7.

19 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s Census Records Joseph John Steward was born about 1825 in Poplar, England. His parents were John and Sarah Steward. Joseph John Steward ascends from our Scholdberg and Jordan lines. Joseph John Steward married Elizabeth Holloway in Poplar, England on 11 June 1848 at St. Mary s Stratford Bow, Bow, County of Middlesex in England. Census Records Census Records found are: 1. Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1851 Census Record for Poplar, England 2. Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1861 Census Record for Poplar, England 3. Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1871 Census Record for Poplar, England 4. Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1881 Census Record for Poplar, England 5. Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1891 Census Record for Poplar, England 6. Elizabeth Jordan s 1900 Census Record for Chicago, Illinois To date, the 1861 Census for Joseph and Elizabeth Steward have not been found, though extensively searched for. However, a blank record, linked above has been inserted should one be found. Joseph John Steward died 23 October 1892 in Poplar and thus the 1891 Census Record is his last. In August 1893, his wife Elizabeth Steward joined her daughter and two grandsons as they emigrated to America and Chicago in particular. Elizabeth Steward is then listed as part of your daughter, Elizabeth Jordan s household for the 1900 Chicago Census. The Jordan Story C-" 19 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s Census Records

21 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s 1851 Census Record 1851 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. The above census data was found in a March 2004 search by Dave Jordan at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. 2. The data shows three families living at 12 Chrisp Street in Poplar on the night of 30th March It is certain that the first family is the Joseph and Elizabeth Steward family, although the name is shown as James instead of Joseph. More below on why this is so. 4. The second family is the Charles and Emma A. Hooper family. On his birth registration, one month old Charles Steward is shown as "Charles Hooper Steward." At first it we thought that Emma might have been a sister to Joseph Steward, but research by Diane Cusiel indicates that Emma's maiden name was not Steward. In 2006 Diane wrote that she had found a marriage of Charles Hooper and Emma Agnes Emblem on Free BMD September Quarter 1841 in Shoreditch. She also wrote that there is a death of a Emma A. Hooper in September 1866 in Stepney, aged 44, which would match going by her age on the 1851 census. Thus it appears that Emma A. was Emma A. Emblem before she married Charles Hooper. 5. Thus Charles and Emma Hooper were probably Charles Hooper Steward's baptismal sponsors and/or good friends of his parents. And as a result Charles Steward (1851) was thus named Charles Hooper Steward after a close friend of the Joseph and Elizabeth Steward family. 6. The third family is the 1851 Census listing at 12 Chrisp Street is the Jemima Steward family. Jemima was the widowed wife of Robert Steward, older brother of Joseph Steward (shown in this record as The Jordan Story C-" 21 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s Census Records

22 James Steward). Robert Steward died between The baptismal index shows a Jemima Mary Steward born 26 March 1846; baptized 17 November 1850 at All Saints Poplar to Robert Melbourne Steward and Jemima Mary Steward. Robert and Jemima Mary had another daughter Louisa Steward born 26 April 1848; baptized 17 November 1850 at All Saints Poplar. As Louisa would have been 2 years old on 30 March 1851 it is likely that the child Susan listed in 1851 above is actually Louisa. Furthermore no Susan Steward for this timeframe has been found in the Parish Records. 7. As of January 2010, no death date for a Robert Steward in the timeframe in Poplar has been found, though it is possible he died elsewhere. 8. Additional interpretations for the Joseph and Elizabeth Steward family is as follows: 9. Ages of 23 for Joseph (James) and Elizabeth suggest years of birth of , which is consistent with the data in subsequent census. 10.It is known that Elizabeth Priscilla Holloway Steward was born 27 February 1847 and was thus 4 years old, which matches Elizabeth Steward in the above record. Elizabeth is clearly shown as daughter to the "Head" and not "adopted daughter" or "mother's daughter" or the like. And her surname is clearly Steward. Both these entries thus strongly suggest our Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph Steward, the man Elizabeth Holloway married 11 June 1848, some 16 months after Elizabeth's birth. 11.Young Joseph Steward was born 18 June He was really only one, but it looks like they round up to two. 12.Charles Hooper Steward was born 27 February 1851 at 12 Chrisp Street in Poplar. The age of 1 month and a Street location of 12 Chrisp Street are a perfect match with this 1851 Census record. 13.Author/Last Update: Dave Jordan/August 1, 2010 The Jordan Story C-" 22 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s Census Records

27 1881 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. The above census data was found in a March 1987 search at the Genealogical Library, Salt Lake City by a genealogy researcher commissioned by Dave Jordan. 2. This record was found in March 1987 through a house-by-house search of a section of Poplar, England. The search was focused around Wade Street, East India Dock Road, West East India Dock Road and Poplar High Street. The Microfilm Reel searched is located at the Genealogical Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and is numbered: , enumeration districts 13-20, RG All Steward, Jordan, and Holloway names and variations were searched. None other than those shown were found. An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as is indicated on the original record; however, column headings have in some cases been shortened. 3. Finding this census record was a major discovery because it provided the original surname of James Oscar Jordan and Charles Jordan. From the Scholdberg name, it was then possible to find James Oscars' and Charles' original birth registrations and also to find their mother's marriage registration to Knut Scholdberg. 4. A mystery is the absence of information for the parents of the three grandchildren. By then Elizabeth Priscilla Scholdberg had re-married and was then Elizabeth Priscilla Jordan. An extensive search of the surrounding area was performed in an attempt to locate Elizabeth Jordan, James Jordan or Oscar Scholdberg. No listings have been found. Later it was found that Oscar Scholdberg had died in November On the original 1881 census record, the street is written as 20 Wade Place while in the 1871 and 1891 it is written as 20 Wade Street. However, in the 1881 census the word Place is crossed out and there is a small St underneath it, which appears to be a correction to Wade Street. Wade Street is RG11/508, Folios and Wade Place is RG11/508, Folios 88, 99, 102, Preliminary data does not show a 20 Wade Place. 6. "Dock labourers were employed by means of a "call-on" at the dock gates twice daily. There was a trade depression during the 1890s and men were called on or paid off at any time of the day. They were employed literally by the hour at a rate of 5d. per hour (4d. at Tilbury). In 1889 the docker's struck to get the "docker's tanner", i.e. 6d. per hour. The great dock strike began at the East and West India Docks on 14th August 1889 and ended on 15th September. The dockers got their 6d. an hour and 8d. an hour overtime. However, industrial unrest continued with blacklegs being brought in during strikes".

30 1891 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. The above census data was found in November 1993 in a search by Marianne Garcher. 2. This record was found in November 1993 by Marianne Garcher who viewed a microfiche copy for all of Poplar at the Dayton LDS Family History library. Because of the number of people in Poplar at the time, no general search was done. Instead just one address, 20 Wade Street, was searched. Searches of nearby streets for Jordans, Holloways, and Scholdbergs also took place. Only this Steward record was found. 3. The record was re-found in 2010 by Dave Jordan in Ancestry. However, it does not show in the Ancestry indexes. It is best to search on RG 12/332 then scroll to Folio 32, Page For the 1881 census, the three grandchildren: Oscar Scholdberg, Charles Scholdberg, and James Henry Jordan, were staying with Joseph and Elizabeth Stewards at 20 Wade Street. Sometime between 1882 and 1886, Oscar Scholdberg, aka James Oscar Jordan had left for Chicago. Then in late 1892, Joseph Steward died. And in 1893, Elizabeth Priscilla Jordan, Elizabeth Steward, Charles Jordan (formerly Charles Scholdberg), and James Henry Jordan left for America. It was hoped that the 1891 Census would shed light on whether Charles changed his name to Jordan while in England or upon the emigration to Chicago. It was also hoped that information on James Jordan, the husband of Elizabeth Priscilla Jordan could be found since so little was known about him. Unfortunately, little progress was made on these mysteries. Marianne Garcher searched nearby streets but to no avail. So the mystery remains on where and when James Jordan was born. And also why eleven year old James was again staying with his grandparents and not his mother and now where 17 year old Charles Jordan was. 5. Son Henry Steward and indicated as married appears to be visiting his parents on Census night. He married Mary Ann Smith on 8 March 1881 in Bethnal Green. His wife and family, including a son named William may be in Poplar or Bethnal Green for the 1891 Census. 6. A stevedore is person employed in the loading and unloading of ships. 7. Based on the 1871, 1881, 1891, and 1900 censuses, the possible years of birth for Elizabeth are January 1825, 1826 or For Joseph, his year of birth would be between 1824 and Author/Last Update: Dave Jordan/August 1, 2010 The Jordan Story C-" 30 Joseph and Elizabeth Steward s Census Records

Our Scholdberg and Jordan Family Genealogies follow to provide an index to our various Scholdberg and Jordan families. Note that there are Jordan named descendants listed in the Scholdberg Family Genealogy. These Jordans descend biologically from the Scholdberg line and normally would have carried the Scholdberg name. However when Elizabeth Priscilla Scholdberg remarried in 1876 after Knut Scholdberg s death in 1875, her two young boys began using the the surname of her 2 nd husband, which was Jordan. A separate Jordan Family Genealogy is also shown below for descendants of Elizabeth Elizabeth Priscilla Holloway Steward Scholdberg Jordan and her 2 nd husband James Jordan.

The data is from RG 10, 574, Page 43 Folio Oscar and Elizabeth Scholdberg were lodgers with the George Bell family at the time of the 1871 Census. That year they lived in Bromley, which is near Poplar. All other addresses of the Stewards and Scholdbergs were in Poplar. The different town location is one reason why it took so long to find the 1871 Census record for the Scholdbergs as I had been searching in various ways for decades in Poplar. 4. Typically the surname was spelled as Scholdberg. Although in this census, it is spelled as Sholdberg. 5. Elizabeth was born in 1847 and was 24 not 27. It is thought that Oscar Scholdberg was born about 1837 and thus would have been 33 as indicated. Daughter Elizabeth (formally Mary Elizabeth) was born was born 27 March She died in 1871 a few months after the 1871 Census. She should not to be confused with their daughter Elizabeth Ada Scholdberg who was born 23 July Author/Last Update: Dave Jordan/August 1, 2010 The Jordan Story Census - " 47 Oscar and Elizabeth P.

Farm or House of Farm Schedule 1900 Census Notes An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original census record; some column heading wording changes have been made for brevity. 1. Both Dwelling Number and Family Number are artificial numbers used by the census enumerator. 2. The above census data was found in an October 1976 search by Dave Jordan at the National Archives. The record was located through the use of the Soundex system. 3. James Jordan's year of birth should have been 1868; Margaret's month of birth should have been April. 4. The number of marriage years agree with December 30, James Jordan's father was been born in Sweden. Margaret's father is was born in Ireland; although her mother might have been born in Canada. It appears that the data for Herbert Jordan's parents place of birth is reversed. 6. James' naturalization is listed as "alien". 7. Margaret did immigrate from Canada with her parents in the late 1880s. Perhaps her naturalization is listed as unknown because she was unsure or perhaps she wasn't around and James provided the information. At the time, the wife and children received naturalized if their father was naturalized. Her father died in 1897 and she may have not been aware of whether she was included in his naturalization. In the 1920 Census she states she has obtained her first papers. 8. Note the use of the middle initial "O" (probably Oscar) for Herbert. Later Herbert used Arthur as his middle name. 9.
