Col John Edmund Harvey: An Overview

The information I have about Robert comes from the following sources:

1. His bookplate.
2. His portrait
3. Information on the census returns for 1871 and 1881.

John is recorded on the census returns as being in St Helier in 1871 and Yarmouth in 1881.
He was a Major in 1871 and a Lt Col in 1881.

If anyone would like to send me a biography I would be very pleased to hear from you.
