Jarvis family

[Kaz206]

Hi,
 was wondering if anyone could help me.  I have hit a dead end when searching for some relatives.  My great great grandparents were William Jarvis and Mary Jarvis (nee Logue) and lived in Londonderry from before the 1901 census.  At the time of the census William was 35 and Mary 30.  Although they lived in Londonderry the census states that they were both born in Co. Tyrone.  This is where I am stuck - I can't find any information for either any further back and have no clue where to start looking as i don't know where in Co. Tyrone they were from.  Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks

William Cummins Jervis and and Mary Logue in Co Derry in 1893

The familysearch site has that record and ALSO a record of the marriage of William Cummins Jarvis in 1917...did he marry twice?

According to the 1901 census William was born around 1866...familysearch has a William with a father James Jervis born in Castlederg Tyrone on 25th Nov 1864...mother Anne Calhoun.

Mary Logue was born around 1871
...family search has a Mary with a father Felix Logue born in Castlederg on 16th April 1871 mother Margaret Corry

There is a death of a Mary Jarvis in 1916 aged about 41 in Londonderry...so born around 1875 (familysearch)

Thank you both for your help. 

You have given me something more to work with.  If Mary died in1916 that would allow William to marry again in 1917 - information i wasn't aware of. 

Were all the children listed born to the same parents as i didn't know the family was so big?  I know there was a Susan Jarvis and i found a birth record for her in1918. I thought this was a large gap between oldest to youngest sibling but it now looks like she was part of a second family which makes more sense time wise. 

Once again many thanks

I should have said the those were the children of William and Mary nee Logue.


Susan Jarvis father William and mother Martha....can't get a match for Harley...I've tried a few different spellings. I think Martha may have been married before.

There is a Martha in the 1901 census with a child, Tillie
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/No__3_Urban/Fountain_Street/1529678

The child is a granddaughter of the Campbells' so that must be Martha's maiden name...so I searched for Martha Campbell as Susan's mother and got a hit!

I also found a Kathleen May D b.1918 with parents William and Martha nee Campbell...twins??

You'll notice in the census that Martha's mother's name is Susan!

Martha was married to John Harley in 1897:

 Martha and John had 2 other children:
 Civil Birth  Rebecca Adams Harley 1901 Co. Derry
 Civil Birth  Annie Harley 1911 Co. Derry

  Familysearch has a record of the death of Rebecca 1902  and the death of Matilda in 1902.

I couldn't find the Jarvis family in the 1911 census ...then I remembered that the Fountain Place area is missing from the census.

Here is William in 4 Fountain Place in 1912 signing the Ulster Covenant

Hi Kaz206

I noticed that you were requesting further information about your great grandparents, William Jarvis and Mary Logue. Well, William Cummins and Mary Logue were my grandparents as well. If you would like to contact me, maybe I can fill in a few gaps for you.
