Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 357 Send Message	Nicola I have found a John Goldspink married to a Mary Ann Pye but this is in July-Sept 1904 Norwich. The only other John Goldspink married to a Mary was in 1845? Do you think that they put they were married in 1901 cenus but actually were not? If you go on FREEBMD and put Jarvis in surname and otty in Mother Maiden name should give you birth from 1911 onwards with this connection and could be possible bros/sis of Stella Sarah Jarvis 1915 Regards Joanna
