January 10, 1853
Jarvis’ brother William Ogden is born in Manchester
1853 - 1860
Presumably
Jarvis’ father Thomas Ogden dies sometime in this period. Since Thomas Ogden is a common name in Manchester I have insufficient information to determine which of the many Thomas Ogdens who die in the Manchester area is him. It is also possible he did move to India with his family and he died enroute or shortly after arriving.
