Hi, thank you for your reply.
To be honest, I am clutching at straws as I have gone on info from the family who say Norman's father was of Irish decent.
The one attachment is of info I received from a lady who kindly assisted me on one of the genealogy sites that I am on, I am in New Zealand and unable to get to Pretoria despite having asked family members to help me with this.
Also because my grandfather was born in Nairobi (see marriage certificate) and given the article in the government Gazette about George Clement Thomas Harvey, I put them together with 10-year-old Thomas as his father was George. Possibly not a great assumption on my part but one of Norman's daughters had the middle name Doreen and apparently, Norman also had a sister called Anne, his one daughter is also Anne. There was a death/ will notice which mentioned Thomas' death in Johannesburg and mentions Doreen (nee Searle) Harvey as his surviving spouse
I could be wrong, but I have been trolling ship manifests to see if Thomas or George whichever name he went by, left the UK namely Ireland to go to Kenya (apparently many people left the UK for Kenya at that time) Sadly the Kenyan consulate has been VERY unhelpful as we have tried numerous times to request copies of my grandfather's birth certificate.
I called the London office and Kenyan offices and was told "we cannot help because they had no computers in those days", then they cut me off. (more than 5 times) I was hoping his parents had registered him in the country of their birth too.
My mother was born in SA - British mother and Finnish father and they both registered her birth in their respective countries and she was born a year before my father.
I digress. This is the info I have and it is not much so I may be worrying you for nothing and for that I apologise. If you are able to assist in any way, I would be most grateful - thank you for your time xx
