Hi,
I have a George Harvey in my family tree who according too Census was born in New Romney in about 1807. I have searched on FamilySearch.org but has turned up nothing, please could someone look it up for me in the parish records.
Also there is a possible brother being Henry Harvey born 1806 possibly in Rye, same story again.
Thanks for your help

Carole,
I know there is but there has been no reply. This is to look for George & Henry Harvey in New Romney.
Thanks

Hi Kate
If there is no reply it is usually because nobody has been able to find anything for you. If you check your last post - it was read by 63 people

OK, guess the family didn't exist or weren't into christenings as I can't find them dying either! ;)
Thanks for your reply.

guess the family didn't exist
They clearly did if you have George & Henry on census!
The 1851 for Sussex shows George as a master mariner
The 1861 for Sussex shows Jane as a mariners widow
So George either died in Sussex between 1851-1861 or he died at sea between those dates
They were living in the Worthing registration district in both 1851 and 1861 and this is the only death listed for that area between 1851-1861 but it relates to their son who was aged 15 in 1851
Deaths September qtr 1852
HARVEY George Edgar Worthing 2b 161
I reckon he died at sea
-
How do you find out about deaths at Sea then.. I know George was a master mariner and i've searched the burial records for littlehampton so it is quite probable that he died at sea. Well the hunt goes on...i'm sure one day i will stumble across something as it seems to happen that way.
Thanks

I am looking for the same George Harvey. In desperation I looked in the census for other Harveys with Rye./New Romney connections and came across a Thomas Harvey from Rye, with a wife named Elizabeth in the 1841 census.They were both born around 1776 . He was born in Rye, according to the 1851 census, when he was described as a widower and a superannuated revenue officer, living as a lodger with the family of a Richard Pearson. No definite links to our George as yet unfortunately.
-
There is a christening record for 4th October 1774 at Rye, Sussex for a Thomas Harvey. Father-John, mother Martha.
-
I'm going to the library where the PRs for New Romney are kept to look for something in that area for another RootsChatter, so I'll have a look for George Harvey.
Can't promise when, as the weather is bad at the mo', hopefully next week will be better.

Hi I have Harvey from Rye married into my Clark Family Also a maritime occupation family. Do you have any connection to Lester Harvey in the trade Directory for the 1840's in Rye. He had a brother Philip, Sister Elizabeth and brother Henry Their mother was Mercy Clark and I believe she married Nicholas Harvey in 1785. She is buried at Rye St mary 1820 in her 50's Sorry for the vagueness but am away from my records and been working my Welsh lines

Thank you very much indeed Betty for your kindness in looking up George's birth. This will certainly help several of us who had hit a brick wall in our research.
Best wishes

Hi,
I 've just found your posting and think that I will be able to help. George Harvey b.1806 new Romney, was one of 9 children born to Thomas Harvey and Elizabeth Paine who married in New Romney on 30th Sept. 1793.
Thomas Harvey was born C1774 Rye and died in Dover in 1855. He was the son of John Harvey and Martha Simms who married in Rye on 3rd Sept 1765. In total they had 11 children.
John Harvey was born C1739 in Rye and died at Mahon in Minorca. John was one of two sons born to Nicholas Harvey and Mary Libourne who married in Rye on 14th Sept. 1736.
Nicholas Harvey b. C1708 Rye was the son of Lester Harvey b.C1677 and Frances Benson who married in Rye on 7th Mar. 1696.
I hope that this helps.

Hi Viv Does your Mary Libourne have any connection to Philip Lilbourne Caption of the Swallow a privateer in 1757(London Gazette) They took a prize and had several prominent Ryers as investors. Phillip Clark was the boatswain and Thomas Clark was the ship's carpenter. Philip Clark 1730-1806 in my line had a maternal grandmother who was a Lilbourne. Iam hoping he is same Philip Family connection and all. LizR
-
Hi Liz,
The Phillip Lilbourne that you refer to, was Mary Lilbourne's brother. He was born C1711 in Rye. Their parents were Phillip Lilbourne b. 14th Sep. 1680, Rye and Mary Graves. Phillip b.1680, had a sister Elizabeth b. 6th Nov. 1676, who married Richard Vousdon and it was their daughter Mary who married John Clark. So yes, they do belong to the same family. Siblings Mary and Phillip Lilbourne were Mary Vousdon's cousins.

Thanks for the info. I thought he would be an uncle and that my Philip was probably name after him. Have you read William Holloway's History of Rye? There are Lilbournes in it. Thanks again LizR
-
Hi Liz,
Yes I have, thanks. The Lilbournes are only a small branch, away from my main family tree but it is interesting to see how they are all connected. I'm sure that you are right about the origin of Phillip Clark's name.
