HARVEY beach babes circa 1880's
Florence Harvey about 12 years old and her elder sister Marie Louisa about 13 years old with a young friend (unknown)
I had to tidy this photo up as it is very faded and believe it or not there is a stab mark at Florences throat. These sisters may not have got on on as well and one of them must have attacked the photo with a pointed instrument!
Florence is 1st left , the young friend in the middle and Marie louise at the right, all in their Victorian bathing dresses.
Presumably the photo was taken at a Devon beach resort
In the background a very pretty sailing vessal.
I need to find the descendents of Florence and/or marie Louise. These photos are true gems and their descendents will love to have them for their family archive.
So if you are a Jones/a Harvey/an Aster or a Champion-Jones OR you know any please get them to check out the images.

The mystery,history and Archive of the Harveys of Bristol, a wealthy Victorian family 1866 to 1937.
The mystery is how this original personal family archive belonging to Florence Harvey came to be found in my deceased mother's house in Essex ten years ago.
Florence was living in Sri Lanka in the 1930's so how did it arrive in England and why did my mother have it?
My great aunt may have brought it back to England but why was it not returned to the Harvey family?
Does this Victorian family not have descendents to whom it could have been returned?
Why do the documents,archives and photos cease about 1937 when Florence Harvey's mother died?
The Harvey family have no connection to my own family.
It is our intention to return the Harvey family archive to Florence's descendents if they can be found.
Read their story on my eBay blog jeannchris and see their images here through time from 1866 to 1937.
