Peter Harvey: An Overview

The information I have about Peter 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. His portrait and his wife's portrait , both by Heins, and both mentioned in the book 'Portraits in Norfolk Houses' by Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, Vol 2, undated but published around 1928.  Hanging at Rainthorpe Hall, The Property of Sir Charles Harvey Bart, 6th August 1907.  Page 171.
3. Another portrait, is also 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.  Page 105.  He is mentioned as being a worsted-weaver.

If anyone can add more information about Peter Harvey I would be very pleased to hear from you.  What did he do for a job and where did he live?
