  • Who is E H Harvey?

    Hi guys, is it possible that someone can help me figure out who E H Harvey is please?

    She or he is noted down on my Nanna & Granddad's marriage as a witness but I don't really know who it is.

    I do have an Elizabeth Hannah Rickaby who married Thomas Phillips in Darlington, 1898. She's listed as his wife in his obituary in 1937 and in her mother's will in 1933 as the wife of Thomas Phillips. Her family owned 3 Croft Street where Nanna & Granddad lived when they first got married, I have them in Curtis Directories of 1955 where Granddad is listed as the man of the house.

    I don't have a death for Elizabeth and it has been a puzzle for quite some time, is it possible that E H Harvey & E H R Phillips are the same person?

      Hmm it is after the death of her first husband and the year would have meant she married at the age of 66 as I have a birth year of 1878 for her. It does explain why I could never find a death for E H Phillips though.

          There is also an Elizabeth Hannah Harvey buried in Durham Road Cemetery aged 75, I wonder if she's near her first husband and adopted son/nephew?
