Harvey Family History

[cornishgirl43]

Hi I'm trying to find the family of ABEDNEGO HARVY born 1650 in ST BURYAN, he married MARY ? in 1670 in ST BURYAN, but I can't find a baptism record for him which would give me his parents names, nor a burial record for him.


I would appreciate any help

I have also never been able to find a baptism record for Abednego and that is largely because it appears no records survive for St Buryan before 1653.

But he 'may' be the Abednego Harvey buried at Paul 27th November 1717. Paul is an adjoining Parish to St Buryan and Abednego was not such a common name so chances are it is the same person. If you could find any records of his children at Paul it might help.

I have just checked for possible Harvey Wills from St Buryan that might help but the only two documents that are actual Wills (the rest are Administation papers) make no mention of Abednego. These are Deanery of St Buryan Wills which are a separate collection to the general Cornwall Wills.

The only Will I have that I actually think is connected is that of Andrew Harvey of Zennor dated 1713. Andrew mentions his brother Abednego Harvey who he leaves 'one shilling' but does not mention where he is or any other members of his family. Needless to say that I do not know the parents for Andrew Harvey either!

Best I can do for now.

THOMAS born 15th October 1670 ST BURYAN
CHARLES born 18th Aug 1672 ST BURYAN
SARAH born 14th February 1675 ST BURYAN died 17th August 1699 ST BURYAN
HENRY born 14th May 1679 ST BURYAN, MARRIED MARGARET ADDICOAT 24TH January 1700
JOHN born 27th November 1681 ST BURYAN, he married JOAN WALLISH 12TH August 1721 ST BURYAN
ABEDNEGO born 1684 ST BURYAN married 19th December MARY CHIRGWIN 1712 PAUL, they had a son called ABEDNEGO born 1717 PAUL married 7th December 1751 PAUL, MARY RAWLINGS and they had a son called ABEDNEGO born 1759 PAUL baptised SENNEN 24TH June

This is what I have so far I have to check my other information

Those are the children I have as well and I also have son Abednego married to Mary Chirgwin but I have not pursued any of this family further than that as yet. They will be on the radar as I have lots of other Harveys in my system but my main focus at the moment is on getting my main family database up to date for DNA purposes.

It may be difficult to identify the parents of the elder Abednego but that does not mean we will not be able to do so eventually. Any time you have questions or need help with the family let me know and I will certainly help.

Thank you for your reply Cornish Terrier and for your offer of help, if I can help you any time just ask. I'm more busy now I'm retired than when I was working, I have 5 grandchildren and also do craft fairs and knitting.

Now my computer is fixed, my son - in- law is a whizz on the computer he helps me a lot. I will try and find some time to do some research, what is lovely is that my granddaughter has taken an interest in family research.

My pleasure - and there are other members here with Harvey interests as well so between the lot of us we should be able to sort out at least some of the problems.
