What happened to Thomas Jarvis of Leicester?

I'm not sure if you've caught this one, but there seems to be another court case potentially in 1856.

Leicester Chronicle - Saturday 19 January 1856
 
‘ William Bates pleaded guilty to breaking Thomas Jarvis's nose, in Redcross-Street on the 15thinst. Fined £5 or two month's imprisonment.'

No further details, but as you mentioned Redcross-Street further up I thought this might be him.

Thank you. Interesting, and Thomas’s brother Samuel was living in Red Cross Street in the 1861 Census.

There is an 1861 census I wondered if you had come across,

Thomas is as single but married on the census return and with a Sarah, both of Leicester, a little older and in Handsworth; this chap is a bellows maker 

Thank you. It certainly looks a possibility. (Incidentally, I don’t know how FamilySearch has decided it was Handsworth because it is St Mary’s parish in Warwick.)

It seems quite possible that Thomas Jarvis was not married to Sarah because in the 1851 Census his brother Samuel was in St Margaret’s, Leicester with his “wife” and one year old daughter but did not marry until June of that year. Maybe Thomas and Sarah, seemingly with no children, never did marry.
