From Taylor Kennedy:
Hello Al
I had a couple of hours free this afternoon and went to the Library to check
census records. By the way, this Craig was the only R.C. All the other
Craigs in Nepean were Wesleyan Methodists or Presbyterian.

In the 1851 Jarvis is classed as single living with I assume his brother who
was 56. Jarvis was 50.

In the 1861 census, it shows Jervis married to a "Sarah". He's 45 and she's
20.

In the 1871 census, shows Garvis 66, Sarah 36, Mary 9, John 7, Allice 6,
Bridget 4 and Sarah 1.

In the 1881 census, shows Jarvis as 80, Sarah 42, Mary Ann 19, John 17 and
Allice 15. The 2 younger ones were not reported.

Could not find this family in the 1891 census.

If Shanly and Cecil are descendents of Gervais, they would have to be from
the only son John.

You have Gervais married to Mary Langdon. Are these two people the
same???????

Hi Al
Further to the info I sent you last night, John being the only son and RC in
Nepean, he's on page 1 of E-3 in the 1901 census, married to Clara B. and
has a daughter Sarah B. born 1900. Thus Shanly and Cecil would be born
between 1901 and 1910, searchable at the archives.

John is listed as being born May 17, 1863. Comparing ages to the 1881
census, they match and he's living on Lot 22, Concession A, Gervais's old
farm, 480 acres.

Tonight I'll start a sub file and send it off to you when I have entered the
little information that I have collected.
Take care
Taylor
