Donald Wilson, April 2015, gleaned from notes by Barbara (Dommett) Simpson. Notes on the family of James Harvey and Ann Lake Lewarn, April 2015
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.

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.
