Notes on the Children of James and Ann Lake Lewarn HARVEY
1. Frederick William HARVEY: 1866-1906.
I never heard anything of him or his family except that we have the names of his five children—the last two were twins, Walter Arthur Charles & Dorothea. The following are notes about Walter ( Bobby )“Walter was always known as ‘ Bobby ‘ & was a captain in the navy and the sea was his great love. He, “Bobby “ put his age “ on “ to enlist in the 1914-18 war, during which his ship was torpedoed and wrecked. He had his Master’s ticket & became a Master Mariner, I knew him when his ship occasionally came into Plymouth Dockyard, He was again shipwrecked from a torpedo during the 1939-45 war when he was on the North Atlantic convoys. He famously used hi seamanship to outwit the Egyptian Embassy during the Suez Crisis in 1956. (See attached newspaper clipping).
2. Arthur James F.R.I.B.A. : 1889-1968
He was a very talented organist & music composer as well as being an architect. His music talent led him to compose the march for Queen Victoria’s 80th birthday. He designed several buildings in Plymouth. Later on, he was an architect for London County Council. His hobby, apart from playing church organs was taking clocks and watches apart & repairing them. He died at the age of 99+ years. He married but had no children.
3. Herbert Charles: 1871-1909.
He apparently died in a mental hospital ~ age 38, according to an entry in the family bible. No Children.
4. Annie Blanche: 1873-1959 -was frequently referred to as Auntie Ciss. She married Will Goddard. They had no children.
She and her husband, Will Goddard were tenant farmers of Washwell Farm, Painswick, Gloustershire all their life. Famed for her acid tongue: even dear Joy named her Auntie ‘Lemon’ Annie! As the first girl in the family she had to do all the darning and if any of the children fell down and cut their knees she would say “never mind your knee bleeding—have you torn your socks / stockings?”
5. Lily Kate: 1875-1876...Unfortunately the writer of these notes knows nothing of her....though she died quite young...living only ~ 11 months.
6. Ernest George: 1878 -1962. A dear loving man. His first wife—Ellen Winifred PAYN, died of puerperal fever( sepsis) a few days after giving birth to Ernest Payn HARVEY, ( aka Jim) who is Robin Grant HARVEY’s father. He, (Ernest George) later married Agnes, who brought Robin’s father (Jim) up. Ernest worked long and hard hours as a manager of a grocer’s shop and died of lung cancer having never smoked a cigarette in his life.
7. Ada May (Kathleen): 1879-1959. Barbara Simpson’s mother was a very lovely mother to her. She had beautiful contralto voice and once sang in the Guildhall in Plymouth with Dame Clara Ellen Butt a famous English Opera singer. Ada married Harold Milton DOMMETT in 1910 whose only child was Barbara Ella (nee Dommett) Simpson who is the author of these family notes and early ancestor research, without whom this project would never likely been started.
8. Kate Grace: 1881-1967—Married Ernest Robert VICKERY in 1908, Taber AB.
9. Henry (Harry) Anthony HARVEY: 1885-1977. Married Florence Mary (aka auntie Flo) ________? In ________?
Another side note from Barbara...Ernest George HARVEY’s son, Ernest Payn (aka uncle Jim) who is Robin Grant HARVEY’S Father) was said by Barbara “to be a darling of a man, so quiet & gentle; loved music and Robin is exactly like him in voice and in mannerisms.” Jim had a fine knowledge of antiques and managed a shop in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
