Edward Harvey: An Overview

The information I have about Edward Harvey comes from the following sources:

1. 1. Information supplied to me by Carla Woodworth Lynas and based on the 'Original Genealogical Collections, by the late Lieut. Col. Robert John Harvey of Thorpe'.  This is mentioned in a publication called 'Walter Rye, Memoir Bibliography and Catalogue of of his Norfolk Manuscripts in the Norwich Public Libraries' by Geo. A. Stephen published in 1929? by the Public Libraries Committee, Norwich.  Original documents in the Norfolk Archives.
2. The book 'A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain' By John Burke, published 1836, page 400, Harvey of Thorpe.
3. Registers from St Mary's Parish Church, Watton.
4. His Will in the Norfolk Record Office (ANW, will register, 1774-1775, (1774) fo. 12, no.10).  I have not seen this yet.

If anyone can add more information about Edward I would be very pleased to hear from you.
