Cyril Jarvis

Cyril was born in 1889, the son of Herbert Jarvis and Maria Jarvis nee Allcock. His father Herbert was born on 27 June 1852 in Checkley, Staffordshire, the son of John and Ann Jarvis. His mother Maria was born in Burton Joyce, Gedling, Nottinghamshire. Herbert and Maria were married in 1875 (Basford, Nottinghamshire, registration district). Both had died by the time of the 1911 Census so it is not known how many children they had altogether but nine were named on the census between 1881 and 1911: Edwin Herbert/Herbert Edwin (b. 4 September 1875, bap. 10 October 1875, Derby), Charles Thomas (b. 1877, Gedling), Ellen (b. 1879, baptised Norbury 16 February 1879), John Douglas (b. 1881, Staffordshire), Ernest (b. 1883, Uttoxeter registration district), Arthur Cecil (b. 1886, Denston), Cyril (b. 1889, Denston), Harriet Hilda (bap. 7 September 1892, St Chad, Derby), Lucy Catherine (bap. 31 March 1895 St Chad, Derby). Herbert was a coachman (domestic) and in 1881 he and Maria where living on Bag Lane, Norbury, Derbyshire, with their three children, Edwin (5), Charles (4) and Ellen (2). By 1891 the family was living at 313 Burton Road, Babington, Derby; Herbert (38) was still working as a coachman/groom. Five of their seven children were at home on the night of the census; Charles (14), John (10), Ernest (8), Arthur (5) and Cyril (2). Their eldest son, Edwin (15) was a house boy/domestic servant in the village of Marston Montgomery, Derbyshire, one of three servants employed in the household of four spinster sisters; Mary Ellen Webb (49), Lydia Ann (48), Alice Sarah (46) and Gertrude (40). By about November 1894 Edwin (19) was working as a carriage washer for the Midland Railway at Derby station. Maria Jarvis died in 1899 (O/N/D, Shardlow registration district) and in 1901 her widowed husband, Herbert, was living at 91 Randolph Road, Normanton, Derby, with six of his children: John Douglas (19) railway drayman, Ernest (18) railway office clerk, Arthur (15), Cyril (12), Harriet (8) and Lucy (6). Herbert's eldest daughter, Ellen, had married John Pollard in 1900 (A/M/J, Shardlow registration district) and had probably already left home. His son, Edwin, who had left home many years before, was also married in 1900 (A/M/J, Derby registration district) to Alice Emily Millband. Their father Herbert Jarvis died at the age of 52 in 1905 (J/A/S Derby registration district) and this meant that the family was dispersed as shown by the whereabouts of his nine children at the time of the 1911 Census. John Douglas married Hannah Woodhouse in 1907 (J/F/M Shardlow registration district) but sadly his wife died the following year in 1908. In 1911 the widowed John (29), a milkman for Brailsford Dairy, was living with his siblings Arthur (25) no occupation, and Lucy (16) a bookbinder, in the home of his childless married sister Ellen (32) and her husband John Pollard at 32 Lewis Street, Derby. Ernest (28) a railway clerk, was a boarder at 107 Meynell Street, Derby, in the household of a childless married couple, William Pollard (34 b. Derby) a drayman, and Sarah Elizabeth Pollard (31). Charles, a gardener, was a boarder at 103 Randolph Road, Derby, in the household of George and Kate Burten. Harriet is probably the Hilda Jarvis (18, b. abt 1893, Derby), who was working as a maidservant in the household of Joseph Nutt, an accountant, his wife Elizabeth and their four children at 111 Whitaker Road, Derby. Edwin (34), now a net examiner for the railway company, was living at 60 Silver Hill Road, Derby, with his wife Alice (34) and their four surviving children of five: Constance (9), Alfred (8), Edward (4) and Leslie (1). Also in the household was his widowed father-in-law, Thomas Millband (60), a fitter (loco depot). Cyril (22) a grocer's assistant, was living at 18 Hutton Street, Colwick Road, Nottingham, with his paternal uncle, John Jarvis (67, b. Staffordshire) a coachman (domestic), and his wife Martha (b. Edingley Nottinghamshire) a cook. John and Alice had three surviving children and one, their childless married daughter, Alice Robinson (34 b. Croydon, Surrey), a blouse hand, was living at home along with John and Alice's grandson Leonard Jarvis (17, b. Nottingham) a joiner/mechanic. John Jarvis predeceased his nephew Cyril. Of Cyril's siblings: Harriet married Alexander F Tharpe (sic) in 1918 (J/A/S, Shardlow registration district). Charles married Hannah Mansfield in 1920 (Burton, Staffordshire, registration district) and died on 16 October 1940. At the time of his death he and Hannah were living at 32 Harpur Avenue, Littleover, Derbyshire. Arthur, who in 1911 was not in work, died aged 35 in 1921 (J/F/M Shardlow registration district).
