I don't know whether what I have to add will be of any use, but here goes anyway. The key words were Garveys of Kent.
My forebear, John Joseph Garvey (son of Timothy, who was from Dingle, County Kerry) was born in Sheerness in 1824. He later moved to Portsmouth where he married Caroline Jane Urry (from an Alverstoke, Hants and Isle of Wight family. John Joseph was a Warrant Officer (Boatswain) RN. They had two children, the son had a number of off spring many of whom continue to live in the south of England. I've have mentioned my family elsewhere, but for further details (also about the family history from Timothy onwards) I can be contacted at [email protected]
Andrew Martin Garvey (formerly of Portsmouth, Hants - now in Italy)
