Going round in circles with this one.
I have an ancestor, Joseph Jarvis born c1856 in Thorpe Hesley / Wentworth, Yorkshire and I'm trying to trace his parents. He came too late for the 1851 census and by 1861, he wasn't with his parents.
On the 1861 census he is listed as a grandson, living in Thorpe, Kimberworth with George and Mary Marsden. They must be maternal grandparents.
On the 1871 census he is also listed as living with George and Mary Marsden.
In 1851, I searched that family and they had 3 daughters, Mary, Sarah and Fanny. 4 doors away was a family with Mark, Ann and Charles Jarvis (born c1832)
I have then found a marriage index entry for Charles Jarvis and Mary Marsden married in 1852. All fits. I don't however have any of the backing information behind that without ordering the certificate and waiting 6 weeks! I need to confirm whether this is Mark's son born c1832
Mary Jarvis looks like she died 6 Jun 1856, which would explain why Joseph was with granparents, though I expected to also find his father dead, but can't.
I then have a marriage for Charles b1832 (father Mark) to Emma Eyre. On the document he is shown as 'widower'.
My main issue is that there are a number of Charles Jarvis' born at a similar time in the same place. Their father's were all brothers. I have tried to trace each one and who they married but it's sending me daft. If the one marrying Emma Eyre as a widower is the same on that married Mary Marsden, it would all fit (barring the fact that Charles seemingly dumped his child on thr grandparents and went on to marry again)
