Welcome to the boards, Catherine

You say "siblings" . Do you mean descendants?
R Harvey is a sibling of his / her sisters.

This is the only R Harvey born in Medway reg district 1916, per FreeBMD. (Medway includes Chatham.)

Possible sisters of the above R Harvey were Doris M E Harvey, 1911, and Freda, 1921, both born Medway.

Also a possible brother, born 1929, Medway - John S F Harvey.

Two possible marriages for Doris M E - West Ham in 1933, and Dartford in 1937.

Looks like the Dartford one might be right:

Her death:

Doris May E Lewis

in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Doris May E Lewis
Birth Date: 15 Jun 1911
Date of Registration: Apr 1998
Age at Death: 86
Registration district: Medway
Inferred County: Kent
Register Number: D14A
District and Subdistrict: 5611D
Entry Number: 136


If she had children, they weren't born in Kent.

There's one Winter / Harvey child born Chatham in 1947, one in Bromley 1950, and five in Croydon, 1952 - 59.

You'd have to buy the birth certs to see if they were children of the right couple.

The daughter born in 1947 married in Chatham in 1972.

And she and her husband had a son in Chatham in 1975.
Sadly, that son died in Medway district in 2006.



You can look all this up for yourself, Catherine, on freebmd.org.uk. As the name suggests, it's free.

Possible death of Freda ? The age would be right, anyway.:

Yes this all sounds correct ,
I'm looking for Freda's Children , as they will be my first cousins.
R is Robert yes :)

Freda's children were Hillary and David as far as I am aware ?

As mentioned above, though not by name, as they may still be alive, Hilary married in Chatham in 1972.

You can look up the marriage on freebmd.org.uk - I won't post it here.

She and her husband had a son, born Chatham 1975, who died in 2006:

Births Mar 1975 (>99%)
BURGESS Mark Stuart WINTER Chatham 16 552

Mark Stuart Burgess
in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Mark Stuart Burgess
Birth Date: 21 Jan 1975
Date of Registration: Jan 2006
Age at Death: 31
Registration district: Medway
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: -1
Page: -1
Register Number: A51A
District and Subdistrict: 561/1A
Entry Number: 113

Also as mentioned before, there were several Winter/Harvey births after Freda's marriage - presumably not all are her children. Hilary is the only one born in Chatham.
If David is Freda's son, then he was born 1950 in Bromley, Kent.
You would have to buy copies of lots of birth certs to find out if any others were Freda's children - though if you knew where she had lived you could probably narrow it down.

I don't see an obvious marriage for David .
There are lots of marriages for people of that name, in various places, with and without his middle initial.

If we knew what his middle initial stands for, it might be possible to pinpoint him on the electoral roll, but otherwise, again, there are lots of people with his first name, middle initial, and surname.

A possible daughter of Hilary was born Chatham 1980 - that doesn't show on freebmd, you can find it on Ancestry.

I'll PM you a possible address for her. If she's the right person, she was on electoral rolls to 2015.

Also a possible address for Hilary, up to 2015.

You're welcome!

It does help when people have unusual names or initials!
