Hello Listers,
Is anybody else researching the following HARVEY Family?
Seward Jabez HARVEY and Emily SUMMERS, both born in Somerset, who married in
Bristol in 1894 and moved to South Wales not long after, most likely to
Abertillery.
Their son, Albert E. (possibly born in Somerset, possibly in Newport),
married Welsh-born Lottie May SAUNDERS in 1916, and had a daughter Barbara
G. HARVEY in 1918. Barbara married Arthur DAVIES in 1941. Registration
District given as Bedwellty for both Brides' Births, and both Marriages.
There was also a daughter, known as Millicent K. HARVEY, thought to have
been born about 1896/97, who married Frederick G. LATCHAM in 1918.
Registration District given as Bedwellty for the Marriage. Millicent's
Registered christian names at Birth may have been Millicent Elizabeth (born
in Bristol) or Mildred Katherine (born in Somerset).
Seward Jabez HARVEY died 13 August 1951, aged 75 years, at 10 Alexandra
Road, Six Bells, Abertillery. Informant M.K. LATCHAM, daughter, of Charles
Street, West Lincoln.
I have not been able to discover what happened to Seward's wife, but it is
thought that she was in Bristol in 1942 (which at the moment doesn't make
sense), living not too far from Muller's Orphanage.
I would be delighted to hear from anybody who is connected to, or knows of,
these families.
