Robert Harvey

[Paige Convery]

I was recently in Ireland and learned that my great great grandfather, Robert Harvey, was from Limavady.  He was born in 1815.  I don't know the name of his first wife,,but his second wife, my great great grandmother was Mary Jane Deery, born in 1835.  Any information about them would be greatly appreciated. I do have one photo of Mary Jane Deery.
