Appleby Magna book

[Deleted]

Hi I am Ray Jordan whose ancestores originated from Appleby Magna, my question is has anyone written a book or article about Appleby that i can purchase, i have been led to believe that there where two Jordan brothers who lived in Appleby one of these is my ancestor. I am keen to "read up" about him and Appleby Magna in general. Can anyone help please.

Hi Ray

There is information about your family on the Appleby Magna history site www.applebymagna.org.uk/appleby_history. There's a search facility there which will find pages that include the name Jordan, although you should also search for Jorden I think.

There are some books about Appleby but the one that gives the most information about Appleby families is out of print: A Son of the Rectory by Aubrey Moore. There are other books and if you look on the village web site (scroll down the page in the panel on the right) you'll find some information about two of them. www.applebymagna.org.uk/contents.htm

The village web site is due for an overhaul so the Search facility and the book links may be different after 24th August.

Good luck
