The appearance of Jarvis/Jervis in connection with Desmond (this name has passed down through hearsay as well as on his marriage certificate) is quite a strong connection to the Salter line I think. They are both very unusal names...The fact that there is a Salter family with an Ethel AND a Jarvis is surely indicitive I have the right family...I know I still need to prove it...but
AND Charles Jarvis Clerson Salter married in Fulham too in 1908.

I think you are maybe seeing an old reference in an old (linked) post about Ethel being born in 1895. A different Ethel...I think I found a tentative link to this Ethel many years ago...can you show me where you have got that from please as I will need to follow it up?

The problem is that I cannot find Ethel anywhere in 1911 or 1901? I wonder if she went under Lilian...

Thanks so much for all your help!

Alison

Google your old posts, that is what I did.

Right - OK. I will. Sorry to have bothered or annoyed you... I used to be a dab hand at this. Please forgive me, I have had a break for over ten years plus I am a single mum with a 9 month old crawling about the place. I may miss things or make mistakes.

I think he may have changed his name quite soon after 1947 to avoid the courts...

He may have been at the Old Bailey in 1949. Got eighteen months.

Wow! Wasn't expecting that. Well, if Edith is marrying a baronet that certainly don't sound like they're 'my lot'!! Could the sister have had an illegitemate child in London and be a boarder?? Is this what you were thinking avm?? Great digging!

Then there are also the golf patents between 1899 and the divorce

ROBERT LISH URQUHART AND EDITH MARY URQUHART, OF DUNBAR, SCOTLAND

Maybe we should check the Scottish census for 1901 to see if Edith Salter was visiting?
