IN A BIT OF A PICKLE !
Have been tracing the Jarvis family for many years, but have got in abit of a mess which may mean a whole branch of my tree is wrong. Robert Jarvis is my first problem. He is listed as been born in Trowse Norflok on some census' but on others as Southwold Suffolk. Also his dob seems to vary from 1779 to 1805 ? He was married to Suzanna balls in 1831 in Suffolk. Roberts parents I think are William (1775 -1841) and Hannah hunt, who is sometimes reorded as Anne. This appears right as she is on 1851 census living with her daughter Mary Anne. As for Williams parents,I always had them as William (1730-1812) and Ann Dickerson(1733-1819) He had another wife Mary.This is where I get in a pickle..there are far to many Williams. Mary had Wm 1768-1768. Ann and Wm had William 1775-1775. William 1777-1845. Above Wm 1805-1841. So in all 4 Williams, 2 of whom survive. I know that they often called another child after a dead one, but this would mean that they had 2 living sons, both called william born 2 years apart. Baptism records show that the parents for all are William and Ann.
So PLEASE anyone with an eye for abit of detection and a free half and hour your help is very much needed 🥒
