I don't pay for full access to Canadian records at Ancestry. (My ancestors didn't immigration to Canada until after 1900 so Cdn records aren't much use to me!)
But a basic search of records at Ancestry.ca
http://www.ancestry.ca/search/default.aspx
for Patrick Jordan born 1835 produces a couple of results that would be worth looking at.
1861 census
Name: Patrick Jordan
Birth: 1834 - location
Residence: Montréal, Canada East
1871 census
Name: Patrick Jordan
Birth: abt 1834 - location
Residence: township, Montreal Centre, Quebec
... However, searching the 1861 census
http://search.ancestry.ca/search/db.aspx?dbid=1570
for surname Jordan in Canada East born in Ireland (for an exact match) doesn't produce your people.
It would certainly be worth doing some searching in the early Cdn censuses though. Also, BMD records in the Drouin Index, available at Ancestry, could contain family info (e.g. father's name, on a marriage record).
The 1881 census is available free of charge here:
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
... but I'm not seeing your people there.
What I was wondering was whether they came to Canada with their parents, and the parents might be with them in the 1861 census, e.g. Maybe someone here with worldwide Ancestry access with have better luck!

Hi, thanks for looking at this post!
I'm trying to find more information about the Jordan's in my family.
My Great Great Great grandfather Patrick Jordan (b.c.1835-d1875) and his brother William (c1840-1913) and sister Anne (c1840-1911, married Gill) came to Montreal from Ireland probably before 1860.
Patrick Jordan married a woman Mary and they had 2 children in Montreal: Margaret (c1870-1934, married Laramee) and James Jordan (1870-1921).
James Jordan married Mary Scott (1873-1945) and they had two daughters Maude and Florence, so my Jordan's end here. Maude is my great grandmother!
Basically I would like to know if there are any other Jordan relatives out there and if we know where this Jordan family came from in Ireland.
I don't live in Montreal/Canada anymore, all the info we have to go by is the information related to our family burial plot and confirmation from the 1911 Canadian census that James Jordan exists. As far as I am aware, all the Jordan family related to me who emigrated to Montreal is buried in the same plot in Montreal.
I hope someone has any leads, please get in touch.
Kind regards
Devon
