I don't know if this will be read as I can see the posts were some years ago.
Frederick and Brittania Harvey were my great grandparents. Their son Thomas (Tom Harvey) was my grandfather. My Dad, Henry was one of two sons of Tom Harvey, sadly both sons are now deceased.
It is lovely to see the image of Frederick which I found after much searching about Dovovan's Yard. I recall my father talking of his grandfather Frederick as a very smartly dressed man who had a cane with a sword in it. He also said his wife Brittania was sometimes referred to as"Britty".
My dad often mentioned his father's brother Steve and his sister Julia and told me Julia married into the Penfolld family. I have in my possession my grandfather and grandmother's marriage certificate which confirms Julia and Robert were witnesses at Mt grandparents' wedding on 27 Feb 1921.
I hope this info is picked up by some of my distant relatives.
