Research Notes

There are a number of possible baptismal records for her in Devon. In decreasing order of likeliness, they are:

• Ann Jarvis, baptised 25 May 1806 in Dartmouth, base born child, daughter of Ann Jarvis^[1]
• Ann Jarvis, baptised 30 June 1805 in Chivelstone, daughter of Thomas and Joanna^[2]
• Ann Jarvis, baptised 13 April 1806 in Churchstowe, daughter of William and Sally^[3]
• Ann Jarvis, baptised 7 September 1806 in West Alvington, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth^[4]
• Ann Jarvis, baptised 10 February 1805 in Malborough, parents William and Sarah^[5]
• Ann Wakeham Jarvis, 28 April 1807 in Malborough, daughter of William and Ann^[6]

There's a DNA match with descendants of Fanny Jarvis (1852-1907 ) and William Henry Mcintosh (1853-1941) Fanny is a daughter of William Weymouth Jarvis b 1787 Malborough d 1865 Can't find a clear path to a connection, though.

Also DNA match with descendants of Margaret Williams Jarvis but again, no clear path to a connection
