General Information

Previous to his Titanic trip he had made at least two other sea voyages, both times on the Lucania, once in 1907 and again the following year. He was 5' 4 1/2" tall, with dark brown hair and brown eyes and, by 1901, at age of 36, was married with a family. His wife's name was Margaret (she was born in Leicester) and they had two sons - Denzil, aged 8 and Wellesley, aged 6.

They resided at 42 Humberstone Road. Here (on the 1901 Census) his business was given as "Journey and Shop Fellond and Shop Front Building". Also, a minor point: his full name, when listed is Denzil John Jarvis, not John Denzil Jarvis.
