Hi all, about a month ago I received some help re one member of this family and I am now trying to sort out the siblings and am looking for their births all in the Liverpool area. I went to the library this morning to print out the census as below.


On the 1881 Census RG11;Piece;3643; Folio; 60; Page; 2
I have John Gervis 32 and his family:

(Mrs Gervis) 32
Ellen Gervis 8
Annie Gerris (?) 5
Betsy Gerris 4


On the 1891 census RG12; Piece; 2930; Folio 115; Page 5

John (JERVIS) 42 is there with his wife

Annie 40 (lost a couple of years?)
Annie 16
Julia 9
Elizabeth 8



I have tried freebmd and lancashirebmd and have found the following:


2 possible Ellens - 1872 & 1874

1 possible Annie Elizabeth 1875


No Betsy


and 1 Julia JARVIS !!


Elizabeth is the one I had help on but she is a pain because on her wedding certificate (JERVIS) dated 1901 she has her age as 21 indicating that she was born in 1880 but I can't find her and have come to the conclusion that she lied about her age.

However, I can find an Elizabeth JARVIS in 1883.


I am going dizzy with the derivisions of this name so could some kind person please see if they can find any of the above births under the name of JERVIS please.
