Barbara Simpson. Notes on the Harvey Family History English Branch from 1842
I am Barbara Simpson, born at 5 Coleridge Road, Plymouth on 30th August 1920. Daughter of Ada May( Kathleen) who was the 7th child of James and Ann Lake Lewarn Harvey and my father Harold Dommett. I am writing these notes because I am now their last grandchild.
James Harvey was the son of William and Susanne Grace (nee Salway) born on the 20th of May 1842 in Plymouth. He married Ann Lake Lewarn at Charles Church, Plymouth on the 11th July 1865 when he was 23 and Ann 19. His residence was given as Alexandra Buildings and his occupation as Builder. Ann was born on the 6th of April 1846. She became an orphan when her mother died; her father was unknown. (There were frequent epidemics of Cholera and Smallpox in Plymouth during this time; 900 dying of Cholera in 1850 alone and it is possible that her mother was one of these). Ann was taken into service by a well known and respected Plymouth family named Wooland to look after their children and she was married from their house, 27 Hillpark Crescent( Transcriber's NB: convention used here...not married in...but from this residence, ie; not from her parent's home obviously)
According to the Plymouth 1881 census seven of their children were born at 17 Park Street; Kate Grace later in that year and Harry Anthony in 1885, their last child. My mother, Ada May always talked of " Springfield " 64 Baring Street in Hospital Road, as the family home; they must have moved here soon after 1881. This is the big house which I remember so well. One memory is of their magnificent lavatory! It had a magnificent pedestal decorated with blue flowers (now highly collectable!) and was raised up about 4 inches on a platform. The flush was operated by pulling up on a round knob which was set in a saucer-shaped depression- a source of great interest to a small child! My parents and I lived about ½ mile across Freedom Fields Park so we visited my grandparents frequently until my ' granka ' ( my baby name for him ) died in 1928 & gran came to live with us for a time.
By the date of their marriage in 1865, James had progressed from builder to architect & surveyor and was an F.R.I.B.A- Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, as was their son Arthur later. I am sure Harry with all his pioneer work surveying for the Canadian Pacific Railway must have had equally high qualifications.
I vividly remember taking them a basket of flowers on their diamond wedding anniversary in 1925. They were both very loving grandparents to me- their only grandchild to live in England.
