Leonard Edward Jarvis - Military records
« on: Sunday 30 January 11 21:34 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for information on Leonard Edward Jarvis, born in Leicester, England in 1888.  His parents were Leonard Vickery Jarvis and Emma Jane Dance.  He was listed in the 1911 census as living in Tottenham and was a draper, age 22.  I'm fairly certain that he joined up for WWI, however, all the military records that I have found so far (ancestry.co.uk), show several L.E.J.s but not this one.  Does anyone have any advice on how to find him?

Thank you,
J.

His records (if he served) may not have survived.
Any evidence that he signed up from (for example) absent voter lists?

Wow, what quick responses!  Thank you for your advice.  I didn't know about the absent voters lists, but I am glad to have that resource.

Seems LEJ has surfaced, and I never thought it would be so quick.  Will respond to your personal message, gortonboy.
