Dear Joan, The name Pavey caught my attention as a widow Harriet Pavey nee Miller was the second wife of my great grandfather Andrew Kennedy. whom she married 1876. Her first husband was William John Pavey, son of John Pavey and they had at least two children , Alfred Edward bapt 12 Jul 1868 at St Peters (not with mother in 1881) and John who was living with Andrew and Harriet in 1881 at 14 Brandon St. I wonder if there is any connection or if you have any knowledge of this family Regards, Nora -----Original Message----- From: JOAN ZORN Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 9:34 AM To: Lynne ; [email protected] Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] Lest We Forget George Henry Pavey, my uncle, was born in 1903 in Liverpool. He was in the RN Reserve so was called back to service at the onset of WW2. He served on HMS Northern Rover, a Grimsby fshing trawler that had been requisitioned in August 1939. The ship was sunk with all hands in the Orkneys by German U-Boat U-59, 'Harald Jurst', on 30 October 1939 at 23.35 hrs Northern Rover was the first former Grimsby based trawler in Admiralty service to be sunk by U-Boat action and she was herself a German built vessel under the Reparation Programme. George's uncle, Walter Seymour b 1874, died on 31 May 1941, a casualty of the May Blitz on Liverpool, having come through WW1 relatively unscathed.

Please take a moment to remember your family members and others who have perished in the line of duty. Wouldn't it be lovely if those of you with ancestors who served in the wars would acknowledge their contributions on the list with some memories or stories about them, or just a mention of when and where they served? For this special occasion only, you may include ancestors from outside of the area covered by this list. So that others can find your posts, be sure to include your ancestor's surname in all caps in the subject line. I look forward to seeing your posts.
