Jarvis - Brentwood area

[alison300]

My mum's sister died in 1926 and is buried at Lorne Road Cemetery, Brentwood.  When I asked for the plot details I was told that there were 4 other burials in the same plot:

Lottie Jarvis aged 15 days, buried 20.10.1879
Archibald Frank Jarvis aged 2 months, buried 6.12.1879
Percy George Jarvis aged 3 weeks, buried 21.11.1882
Victor Jarvis aged 3 weeks, buried 21.11.1882

These children are not related to my family but I would like to know about them.  I've searched Ancestry and FreeBMD and found their births (looks like 2 sets of twins) but can't find any obvious parents on the various census.  Can anyone help?

The children wouldn't be on any census as sadly they didn't live through one

Perhaps someone with a subscription to Seax can look for a baptism of these children, mine just expired I'm afraid.

Otherwise get a birth certificate perhaps the mothers maiden name will give you a clue.

Don't dispense the idea they are not related somehow, in my opinion it is to much of a coincidence, perhaps a purchase of one certificate might help you

Births are registered in Billericay registration district, I assumed they would be in the Billericay area as at 1881 so I had a look in1881 census, there is one family living in Galleywood , parents James and Ellen but there is not enough gaps in the siblings to prove that these births belong to the  family listed in your list

If they are not related in some way I wonder why they are in the same grave

I've checked billericay, Brentwood, little Warley, great and little burstead, laindon, parish registers with no luck. There are a couple of Jarvis families but the children don't match.
My uncle was buried (toddler drowned in family pond in 1936) in a grave with unrelated people. Apparently it was common to bury children with unrelated people rather than purchase a plot.
However, it would be interesting to find who they were and if the poor parents managed to have surviving children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
I'll keep looking.

This looks a possible family. Junction Road is only a stone's throw from Lorne Road Cemetery.
(have a look on google maps or google earth and you will see Junction Road and Lorne Road are adjacent)


1881
Junction Road, Brentwood
John Jarvis 27 bricklayer bn Hammersmith Middx
Jane R 34 wife bn Brighton Sussex
Millicent 2 bn Bognor Sussex

I'll look and see if there are any other possibles.

(Yes, Brentwood is in Billericay Reg District, but someone being buried in Lorne Rd would be unlikely to have been living anywhere other than Brentwood itself - though much of that area of  current Brentwood would have been South Weald parish or Warley parish. I would think Junction Rd was South Weald parish, which covers that area. Even though nowadays Brentwood is the main town and South Weald is just a small village to the north east, actually the parish of Brentwood is miniscule, whereas the parish of South Weald stretches right down encompassing large parts of what one would currently call Brentwood.)

Cant see any other likely candidates in 1881 census

Sadly Jane Rosa Jarvis dies in Jul/Aug/Sep 1887, Billericay Reg District, age 40.

JUnction Rd is South Weald parish - so a check on Christenings there might reveal their parents.
