sure you know and I have just had to check as the name Jarvis rang bells but there is an area in Crowborough named Jarvis, not sure if it bears any relevance or not.

Yeha there's an area called Jarvis Brook or the Bronks as its known around here not a very nicepalce at all, and no it bears no relevance but good connection xxx

Oh dear! One of my work colleagues lives in Jarvis Brook! She has lived in Crowborough on and off for 45 years. I'll make a note to ask her if she remembers anything next week.
