I am trying to trace anyone who might be cousin's the line, it is a Birmingham familey who Great Granfather might be Jarius Curtis 1854 married to Sarah Holmes 1854.
The Curtis family was very large and I think somebody must have an Uncle or Grandfather with the name Jarius,also one off Jarius's daughter married Ernest Prottey and they had a son Jarrius I would love to trace any cousins that still live in the West Midlands area. :-

Have you looked on here to see if any members have any of these people in their trees?

Added:
Is his marriage in 1871, as he would only be 17 at the time if born 1854?

One child of the marriage.............you should be able to find the record yourself.

In any case, it's too recent to post on here......................

You really need to get used to using freebmd............it's an easy site to use, and you'll find it invaluable

GR members other than you have Jarius/Jairus in their trees

Look for them by inputting BOTH versions of the name.............then contact them............................
