also on 1871 at buan are: robert harvey 68, margaret harvey 78, catherine harvey 43 and margret harvey 57
in 1881 catherine was a servant working at folster, birsay aged 17 which appears to owned/ lived in by more harveys, looks like she was living with relatives!
in 1891 she is a gen dom servant working in govan at 28 belmont st
looks like her grandparents on her mothers side were harveys

Great research AKC...
I am wondering if she is in your research or you were kind enough just to do the lookups?
I am hoping to find a relative as I have a picture of her,with my grandmother and another gal when they were domestic helpers in Berwick Scotland...was wanting to share this wonderful picture.

Hi again, sorry she is not one of my relatives, I am a member of orkney family history society and there is a lot of info on their site and on Ancestry.com. I was in Birsay a couple of weeks ago at the St Magnus church next to the palace and had walk around the cemetery and took a photo of the church window, needless to say there are loads of Harveys, I dont think the Birsay cemetery has been transcribed yet, could be a tricky one, there are a lot of headstones. Orkney Family History Sociey may be able to help you find a relative
