Thomas Harvey

[jamped44]

I am researching Thomas Harvey (1787-1863) and Mary Landrum( 1887-1875) whom were from Omagh. The Harvey’s emigrated from Scotland to Ireland in the 1700’s then on to Nova Scotia in 1816.

According to our records Thomas’s father was Robert Harvey(b 1766). Robert I had 5 children all of were born In Omagh.

 Thomas and Mary had 11 children(Robert 1806, Hannah 1808, Thomas 1812, Mary 1815, Ann 1818 that were born in Ireland). The rest were born in Grand Pre Nova Scotia.


Our records show that Thomas was a linen weaver.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am also researching a Thomas Harvey (and his family) who is supposed to have been from Omagh, County Tyrone Scotland and had a son George Harvey who married Marry Anne Johnson and had eight children. Am not sure if we are talking about the same people or not and I do not know if my facts are correct.
I have uncovered some history and perhaps we can cross reference to see if there is some overlap in what we have learned?

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 ^(*)

What makes you think this  (George Thomas age 10) may have been your great-grandfather on   father's side.

 father is ^(*) 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)

or have you any PROOF George was even Irish??
