I am looking for any information on Arthur J Jarvis, born 1909 died 1970 aged 61.

He was married to Ruby Horwood in 1945, she was previously married to Charles
Horwood. Charles was my uncle they had one child Patricia Ruby Horwood. Charles died 1943/44.

Any information regarding Arthur Jarvis would be great.
My uncle was Charles Oscar Horwood he was a sergeant in the RAF . He died of TB in Moggerhanger sanatorium, early 1940s
Ruby his widow went on to marry Arthur J Jarvis who was in the navy.

Is this Charles' death in same RD as Ruby's second marriage? Trying to find possible ages

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl - free to search to confirm year.

? Charles death in same area as Ruby's second marriage

Deaths Sep 1944 (>.%)
Horwood Charles 60 Luton 3b 408

EDIT - probably not, there is a Charles Horwood in Luton on the 1939 with a 1884 birth date, but married to a Sarah. Charles/Ruby marriage 1937 (his parents ?)

Have you done any research yourself?

Where did you find the Jarvis 'death' to which you refer? There is NOTHING on freebmd to match

There appears to be one son - at least - from Ruby's marriage to Jarvis.

Are you in touch with him?

You are looking for info ONLY on Arthus Jarvis, as I understand your post

Thanks, Maddie. Cleared that one up

Strangely, Joyce has Charles Horwood in her GR tree as being born in Luton in 1918 and there is NO birth to back that up on freebmd

Someone named Elizabeth has the name in her tree born 1916 in Luton, and there's no match for that, either

In fact, the only reference for Charles O Horwood on freebmd is the 1937 marriage

His death record doesn't give his age....................

Not that it matters, as he isn't the one Joyce has asked about

Erika posted a 1985 death for Ruby May Jarvis in Wallasey.

However, I'm wondering about this one:

Deaths Dec 1970 (>99%)
JARVIS Ruby May B 8Au1909 Luton 4a 332


(I realise there's an unexplained initial B there.)

Joyce, have you perhaps given Ruby's death details instead of Charles's??
Died 1970,aged 61.


EDIT:

No, that's this person:

Births Sep 1909 (>99%)
HORSLER Ruby May B Luton 3b 374


She married Edward B Bunyan first, and then William J Jarvis

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 24 Jan 2020 14:16

The 1985 death for Ruby matches the DOB on 1939 register

I think we need some answers from Joyce

I do think you're right, though, AG, about the wrong death being given - too much of a coincidence, otherwise
