George Keith Robinson Jarvis 1912-1976

[JasonB]

I am trying to locate the 1921 census for George. He was an orphan as his parents George Jarvis and Marion Elizabeth (nee Dunn) had both died in 1916. He had a sister Joan Marion who was living with her grandparents George Jarvis (1859-1930) and Louisa Jane (nee Loader) (1863-1931) at 11 Princes Road, Heaton Moor, Yorkshire, England according to the 1921 census. However, there is no mention of her brother.

George was born on 15th August 1912 in Wanstead, Essex, England and died on 7th May 1976 in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. He married Elizabeth Kate Brown (1914-1984) on 28th August 1937 in Harborne, Birmingham, England.

Any help in this would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you for your research. It has been most helpful indeed. Based on the information you supplied he must have moved to Cheltenham to live with his grandmother Elizabeth at 17 Albert Place. This is the address where his mother Marion had died in 1916.

With regards to the MBE I found that information this evening on britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk along with reports of his retirement and death.
