M. I.'s St, Mary's, Rye - Harvey family

[Summercloud]

I believe that two monumental inscriptions numbered E43 and E50 have been recorded for the Harvey family in Rye St. Mary's churchyard.  There is also a Harvey M.I. at Rye Baptist Chapel no.0008. I would appreciate a look up for all three inscriptions.
Thanks, Viv.

Hi Chris,

Thankyou so much for your reply.  The information certainly has been helpful. I had no idea that the transcriptions would be so detailed.

Thanks again,
Viv.

Harvey Henry  12 Feb 1882   Non-conformist    I was sent a list of Harvey burials from the SFHG.  This is all I have on Henry.  Other entries had ags and statue such as widow.  Any way to confirm that he is the one married to Jane.  Thanks LizR

Hi Viv,

I  came across your thread, as just tonight I have come across the same inscriptions on the Harvey famiy (bought the booklet of Rye inscriptions at a genealogy fair last weekend!) and was scouring the web this evening for any information on the demise of the Cumberland.

My cousin and I are delving into the Harveys of Rye, and the E43 batch, at least, certainly sounds like "ours".  Haven't checked out the others yet.  We visited Rye last summer, and managed to find Rock Channel House.

Our Harvey relatives later went to Portsmouth, London and Warwickshire.  Does this tie up with yours at all?

Angela


EDIT
PS  Chris, I was not "allowed" to download the churchyard plan that you have affixed to your post.  Maybe I do not have enough posts to qualify to receive attachments yet, or something?

Hi folks, me again...

Marinerclark, I notice the name Lilbourn in your signature.

"CLARK Waite Ashley Gravett  Vousden Lilbourn Rye Sussex,"


In my records, I have the Nicholas Harvey who "unfortunately drowned in Rye Bay" as married to a Mary Lilburn/Lilborn/Lylbourn. She was baptised in Rye 1712; parents Philip and Mary. 
Any use to you?

Angela

Hi Angela   Welcome to Rootschat and the family.  My connection to the Harvey is my 4 greats grandfather Henry Clark  1759-1832  sister Mercy. 


she married Nicholas Harvey in 1785.  many Nicholas Harveys.   Parents of mercy and Henry  Philip Clark and Mercy Waite.  This week I finally found a record confirming Philip Clark as a Mariner.  Letters of Marque were granted to the Swallow in 1757  found on the National Archives  Captain of the Swallow was Philip Lilburn.

My Lilbourne connection is Elizabeth Libourne wife of Richard Vousden  Parents of MaryVousden b. 1702  mary was Philip Clarks mother.  Richard Vousden dies shortly after Mary's birth and Elizabeth remarries.  have to look up who  All happens in Rye.  What is your Lilbourne connection.  LizR
