Lydia Harvey nee Black: An Overview
The information I have about Lydia Harvey 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 is mentioned in the book 'Portraits in Norfolk
Houses' by Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, Vol 2, undated but
published around 1928. Norwich, Holmwood, Thorpe, the property
of Col J R Harvey, later moved to Windover, Burlesdon, Hants.
