Hi Eppingjewish,
In reading all the chats i don't think your Harriet is directly related to my Ephriam though there could be a link further back.
Ephraim's parents were James Harvey and Susannah Lucas. James Harvey Died in November 1841 at about 39, after the death of James she remarried to Thomas Aldous in 1848.Considering her age at this marriage would be almost 50 I don't think there were any children. Susannah died 7 July 1874.
Ephriam did have a sister 'Hariot' but she was born20 Dec 1838.
James and Susannah are so far missing from the 1841 census which was conducted in June of that year.
James Parents were William Harvey and (probably) Judith Musk, married 14 March 1802. Their children were James, Charity, Edward, Susan Letice, Nathan and William.
We think that William parents were Samuel Harvey and Margaret Pettit who married in Rishangles 6 April 1772.
As to the Jewish connection, it is still unproven, though the feeling is that there is Romany/Jewish ancestry in there somewhere. My DNA states European Jewish < 1%.
