Harvey and Wasley families
- Cusveorth Coombe
I descend from John Harvey (born c 1823) and Hannah P Wasley (born c1823) according to the 1842 census, they both lived in Cusveorth Coombe with their respective familes prior to getting married in 1846 and having a son (John Polsue Harvey) in 1847. Some time after this birth they moved to Australia - possibly first to South Australia - then definitely to Western Australia in 1859. Hannah was the daugher of Joseph Wasley and Susanna Polsue, and John is possibly the son of Jane Martin and Paul Harvey. This last detail is uncertain. If you have any information on any part of this family tree, I would be very interested in sharing information. Ta
