Elizabeth Harvey nee Blyford: An Overview

The information I have about Elizabeth comes from the following sources:

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. Her portrait and a reference to it in the book 'Portraits in Norfolk Houses' by Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, Vol 2, undated but published around 1928.
3. Her memorial in Saint Clement's church, Norwich.  Floor slab next in line to the entrance 'To the memory of Elizabeth the beloved wife of Peter Harvey who departed this life the 18th of October 1741 Aged 23 (25?) years'.

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