Family History Beginners Board / Rebecca (M'Afee?) Harvey and Thomas George Harvey
« on: Tuesday 25 April 17 02:08 BST (UK) »
Hi, I found this in one of the posts : Rebecca (M'Afee?) Harvey bo rn in Fermanagh in 1867 and Thomas George Harvey gardener
In 1911 they were living in Dublin at House 11 in Oldconnaught (Rathmichael, Dublin)
Sons John James (18) and George Thomas (10)
I am not too sure but I think this (George Thomas age 10) may have been my great-grandfather on my father's side.
My father is (Name of living person removed for privacy reasons) born in Durban, South Africa in September 1951. His father was Norman Rome Thomas Harvey (we think, but he was known to all as Norman) - Norman was born in Nairobi, Kenya to George Clement Thomas Harvey who was married to Doreen Harvey (maiden name Searle) who then moved to South Africa.
I found an article in the Kenyan Government Gazette about the absolution of a partnership between George Harvey and his business Partner.
Things become VERY murky after Norman Harvey met his wife Olga Blanche Theresa De Gaye (married 1/12/1951) and the relationship between his and his family was severed. From what older family members have imparted, I think Norman had a sister called (name removed) and one called (name removed) . (But this is unconfirmed heresy from a family member who met them briefly over 46 years ago)
Norman remarried some years after Olga passed away and his second wife was estranged from the family. Any and all documentation including the family bible disappeared when she died.
I would really like to tie the families together, so much time has passed and Norman died leaving his children - (names removed) along with 12 Grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. Some are still in South Africa and others are in the UK and New Zealand. Thank you for your time. I can be contacted on email (*)
