Lost Family Members
« on: Sunday 05 September 04 13:59 BST (UK) »
I have for a number of years been trying to find the marriage of Robert Harvey.  I have searched nearly all the parishes in Somerset including Phillimores and The Bishops Transcripts.  He lived in Ditcheat Somerset from 1735 when his first child was born to when he died on 17th November 1780, aged about 70.  I'm not sure of his wife's name as all fourteen children of his were baptised as being the son or daughter of Robert Harvey.  The only Robert Harvey's I have found in Somerset are, one born in Nynehead in 1711, one born in North Petherton in 1717 and one born in Crewkerne in 1719, I cannot find any links to my Robert, why were they living in Ditcheat?  The family were poor and there are many references to both Robert and other Harvey's in The Vestry Poor Law Records around this time. If anyone has any information regarding a marriage of Robert Harvey about the 1730's I would be most grateful, maybe it's in another county?
