West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Family name Jarvey from Balbardie, Bathgate
« on: Thursday 05 October 17 00:19 BST (UK) »
Hi there
I have a 4x great grandfather, George Jarvey in my family line. He was born in 1766 (calculated from census records) and died sometime between 1841 and 1851. He was married to Jean Whytt (born in Slamannan in 1769-1855). He was a farmer as were his sons. On the Bathgate parish records for the births of his first two sons, John Jarvey (1796-1849) and George (1804-1889), he and his wife are just named as the parents. However, on the record for his son William (1806-1857ish), he is called George Jarvey in Balbardie and his spouse Jean Whyte .... I can also find him as George Jarvie, Balbardie in tax records for 1797/98 and 1798/99.
I can find a John Jarvey, late tenant farmer of Balbardie who died 1797 and his wife, Mary Cleland. Old parish records show John and Mary had several children - Thomas Jervy (1749), William Jarvy (1751), James Jarvie (1760), Mary Jarvey (1770). I also know there was a George Jarvey, vintner, Bathgate who had Jarvey Street, Bathgate named after him and I think was the brother of John Jarvey (from a history of James 'Young' Simpson).
So, after all that information, does anyone know if George Jarvey, vintner, married and had children, one of whom could be my George Jarvey (1766)? Or did John and Mary have a son called George who took over Balbardie after John died?
I know there are a couple of you wonderful forumites who have an interest in the Bathgate Jarvey/Jarvie family line, so I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance.
