Dear Members/Administrators,

I am seeking information on my maternal great great grandfather: Albert Edward Harvey birth circa 1850, spouse Fannie (or might be Fanny) birthname Burford (?).
This couple emigrated to South Africa, Eastern Cape region, and my great grandfather George Henry Harvey (spouse Margaret Sarah Laura Short) was born in 1878, died 1859.

If anyone has any possible information, please feel free to contact me.

With thanks, Gail Hickey

Thank you so much for the additional information - I tried & could not get it, must be my search entry! I am now cross referencing to validate with birth certificates (when I am able to get hold of them). Thanks again
