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.
