Hi,
There is a Peter Harvey of Co. Tyrone who died in 1899. He left a will and the image is available at proni. He had a daughter, Catherine and a young son, Peter as well as other sons. See http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx

Tomy,
Griffiths Valuation (a survey of all property in Ireland between 1847 and 1864) gives two Harvey families in Listamlet in 1860. Bernard, renting a small farm of about 6 acres and James renting another small farm of about 13 acres. Their landlord was Lord Charlemont. See http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

There are both Fees and Harvey in the townland of Listamlet in 1901 and 1911-

A Peter Harvey was born to unmarried couple father Peter and mother Catherine Fee and baptised in November 1859 in Dungannon Tyrone. The address at the time was the workhouse.

Thanks again to everyone for the leads.It is all a bit confusing as it does'nt match with some of the info i had before i joined your forum but i am enjoying checking it all out.

Gaffy,can i ask you where i would get the information regarding Peter and Catherine Fee 1859. I have tried everything i know but with my limited knowledge this is the first chance i have to see both of these names together on paper.cheers.
