Thanks for that.

I have most of it already, The Weald is a great site and has been helpful to me in the past.

I have Thomas's mother's will and also that of his son that I am descended from, just thought it would complete the picture if I could locate his will.

I will try sending to the address on the site previously mentioned and see how I get along.

Thanks for all the kind help.

Thanks for the web site.

He was a farmer.
I believe it was a large farm employing several men, according to the census.

I wonder if some kind soul could point me in the right direction.

I am looking for the will of Thomas Wickham Jarvis of Dale Hill Farm in Ticehurst who died 26 October, 1878.

There seems to be a lot online for 1858 and prior but I am drawing a blank for anything post 1858.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I appreciate your interest. I did have the first two but not Eliza Jarvis - who for the record is sister to Thomas Jarvis.

many thanks again :)

Thanks for looking for me..........would love to find out the parents of these ladies because the son of Ann & Thomas J married the daughter of Elizabeth and Thomas S - but it seems impossible to get any further back; especially from this distance!

Just thought I would add this site:
http://www.afhs.ab.ca/registry/regns_census.html

It has all the available NS censuses and you might find something useful.

Kent / TERRY, Goudhurst, Kent
« on: Monday 01 August 05 01:56 BST (UK)  »
My 3xGt grandfather Thomas JARVIS of Ticehurst, Sussex married Ann TERRY of
Goudhurst, Kent on 21 May 1821 in Ticehurst, Sussex. On that same date and
in the same place another 3xGt grandfather Thomas SAWYER of Tunbridge Wells
married Elizabeth TERRY.

Is there any way to find out if these ladies were sisters? I believe they
were born 1795 - 1800, but I do not know who their parents were and would
love to find out if they were related to each other!

Many thanks for any help you are able to offer.

Bob,
Your wait for the 1911 census may not be as long as you thought. Bill S-18 has been passed in the House of Commons and this is a qote fromt he Government site
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/whats-new/013-233-e.html

Notice to Clients

As many of you are aware, Bill S-18 has now received Royal Assent. Under this amended legislation, personal census records for censuses taken between 1911 and 2001 will be made available through Library and Archives Canada 92 years after each census took place.

Library and Archives Canada has received the official transfer of the 1911 census records from Statistics Canada. To facilitate access to these records, a number of standard policies and procedures need to be followed before the product is launched. We are working very hard to release this information to researchers and the general public as quickly as possible. We hope to do this by early August.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Well, Barrow Records Office came up trumps! They managed to find a report in "Soulby's Ulverston Advertiser", 22 October 1868 which stated that he was found outside Mr Taylor's brush maker's shop by a sixteen year old youth, Thomas Johnson. Witnesses testified that he had not appeared to be "in drink" the previous evening and police found no signs of foul play. The jury returned a simple verdict of "Found Dead".
Who knows, maybe he had a heart attack or an aneursim - I'll never know. ???
Thanks for all the replies! :D
