ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am thankful to relatives who have helped with my research, for information and photographs given or lent. I have acknowledged their contributions in the relevant script.

To my dear husband Peter for proof reading my script, for driving me to many distant towns, libraries and Public Record Offices, enabling me to gather information and photographs.

Special thanks to Joan Haskett, for providing information about her grandfather Edward Jarvis, to Alice Jarvis for photographs and information given about family members long gone. Both these ladies gave me facts that I could never have found in books or records. To Helen Brougham, David, Keith and Ron Jarvis for memories of their parents and grandparents. .

I have attempted at all times to print the facts as I see them and if there are any inaccuracies, I apologize.
