Can someone please look up Elizabeth Ann Jervis of Liverpool please. She married George Taylor in 1901 and was probably born around 1880. Her father was John James Jervis but I don't know anything about him. I don't know what her mother's name was. Thank you.

It is now almost May 2010 and I am at a loss!

I have Elizabeth's marriage cert dated Sept. 1901. Aged 21. Address 37 Broughton Terrace, Liverpool, same as bridegroom. Her father was John James Jervis - labourer.

You can see her on the census above living with father John and mother Annie. I looked for her parents marriage and found John Jervis to Elizabeth A(nnie) Thomason.


I sent for 2 birth certificates which I hoped were hers but both were refunded as the mmn was not Thomason.


In desperation I sent for her sister Julia's (above) and received it this morning......mother....Annie Duckett. Arggh.


I have looked through all census (including 1911) and on each one, Annie gives her place of birth as Liverpool but nowhere can I find a birth for an Annie Duckett in Liverpool, nor a Jervis/Duckett marriage.


One annoying thing is that Jervis is often misheard as Jarvis and the family veers between the two.


I have tried every combination I can think of to search for Elizabeth Jervis's mother but am now exhausted and would welcome some input from those more experienced than I am.


Even if it turns out to be blindingly obvious what I have missed, I would still be grateful for some advice and guidance. Thanks. Cx

Hi Andy yes, those are the two which were refunded. I am now wondering whether to send for them again leaving the mmn blank??? Mind you, if they come back with Annie Duckett as the mother, I guess I am non the wiser ! Thank you for looking though.



Thanks FBG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm on and off here tomorrow.

Edit. On the 1881 the family are listed as Gervis - John and 'Mrs' !!
