A Jarvis family question?

Question

I am searching for information on a James David Jarvis Sr, who died in 1971, in Houston, Texas. He had 4 sisters, Maynie, Lola, Dovie, and Kathryn Jarvis of California. He had a son, James D.

He had 3 children, James Cyrus, Marie teresa, and Elizabeth Lee, all born between 1955-1960.

I won't even try to send the original copy... it is faded beyond belief.  Will start running down Howard from here and get back to you via email.  When I locate them in earlier census, it will have to be direct email ..

edit-

in 1880, Howard G lives with his parents still in this same county... father James was born in Tenn, his parents come from NC.

Answer 2

This might be him in 1910, but without birth years it is imossible to tell. There is a Lola and a James D in the family.
