Hello Brian I have a William Simpson HARVEY (brother of my gggrandmother Isabella HARVEY) born 4 June 1829 in Glenshiel Ross-shire but don't know what happened to him after the 1841 census (when the family were in Fodderty. William was named after the factor his father Thomas HARVEY worked for in Glenshiel. Thomas HARVEY was born somewhere in Scotland (but not in Ross-shire), died some time between the 1841 and 1851 censuses and was married at least twice - to Magdalene THOMSON in June 1823 in Peebles parish, Peebles-shire, and to Isabella MacRAE in 1834 in Glenshiel. There were several William HARVEYs among the next generation of this HARVEY family both in Scotland and among the children of three of the sons who emigrated to New Zealand. If you Harveys have any connection to the Glenshiel/Kintail area, please contact me as this family seems to be the only Harvey family in that area 1820-1840. Thomas Harvey worked as a shepherd and may have been one of the lowland shepherds who went to the Highlands after the clearances when the sheep moved in. Apart from the three sons who went to NZ (Robert, James & John), his son George was also very mobile, moving from Ross-shire, to Portree & Snizort on Skye, to Inverchaolain, Dunoon & Kilmun in Argyll and finally (I think) to Tongue in Sutherland. Any Thomas HARVEY in your family, born about 1795 (give or take a few years as age estimated from 1841 census), who may have gone to Glenshiel as a shepherd around 1820?
