Information below of the Jarvis family of Doddington (John Jarvis is known to have owned Doddington windmill) supplied courtesy of descendant Myrna Boswell of Australia
"Photos were bought to Australia by my grandmother in 1924, photos of her home and father. I always assumed the farm (hops and cherrys) was named "Down Court" From information I have read on your site, I am left wondering. In the 1881 census it shows the family residing at the post office grogery shop (which I had heard mention of) six years before my my grandmother Alice Jarvis, was born. Maybe they moved to the farm after the census? I would realy appreciate any information. I do have a few other photos if you are interested. Sincerely Myrna Boswell.
Some years ago, a family member did a bit of research and apart from the usual Earl or Duke (none of which was documented) these facts and figures seem to be genuine. If you would rather have the photos minus the text I have added, I do have the originals. Myrna"

Though this wedding photo has been vandalised, my nanna Alice is indicated by biro.
The second photo is also a family wedding but I have no idea as to names.
