Morning Rose...

Thanks for having a look at the deaths for my John... I did take a quick look at them aswell and found nothing...
What do you or anyone else suggest that i try next???

I really feel i must find out what happened to this guy... As I know my grandad never spoke about him later life and want too see if i can find out why?? But my oldest Auntie and my dad can remember him...

Thanks everyone...

Right i have just read everyones Threads and will take all on board...
I have info i have recieved today on John is

On the new 1911 census it is showing as Thomas Malcolm and Ada Living at Raverley Street, Bromley with my Grandad (Thomas Henry) aged 5... But no mention of any sibling dead or alive...
Now after this info i contacted my oldest Auntie on the Jarvis's and she has Told me that John married a Esther and they had a daughter called Pamela... Now my John apparently never stayed with wife and daughter... But they do know that around about 1975 my dad and family had to go to a solictors in Portsmouth as this John had died and my aunt seems to think he lived in Cawplain, Portsmouth, Hampshire
Can anyone now have any ideas etc...

Many thanks in advance to those who have replied with ideas and thanks to those who might have fresh ideas...

There are several people who have John in their tree on this site. Have you tried contacting them?

It's the other Bromley:

Births Sep 1906
Jarvis Thomas Henry Poplar 1c 549

Problem is there are lots of Johns. This is the closest match:

Births Jun 1908
Jarvis John Poplar 1c 597

Name: Leslie John Jarvis
Year of Registration: 1908
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Bromley
County: Greater London, Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 577

Searched free bmd (www.freebmd.org.uk) possible match -

John Jarvis born in Bromley third quarter 1896 ref v.2a pg.447.

Have you searched trees on the site to see if anyone has him in their tree?

Hello everyone, Please help...
Im looking for information on a JOHN JARVIS the brother of my Grandad... I do have very little on this man as my grandad never spoke of his brother...
My Grandad Thomas Henry JARVIS (1906-Bromley) was the oldest of the two...Apparently they both were born in Bromley at Raverley Street ... John is apparently 2-3 years younger...We do know that John lived in WATERLOOVILLE, HAMPSHIRE in his last years and we have a error in years of death... My aunt reckons abt 1975 but my father says 1983 ish... Their parents are THOMAS MALCOLM JARVIS AND ADA JARVIS nee PHILLIPS

Can anyone help me please
Tracey
