My grandfather Charles Tovey was born in Sydney, Australia in 1883. He had two slightly older brothers: George William (b. 1880) and James John (b. 1881), both born in Sydney. Their father was George Tovey (b. 1849 in England) who emigrated to Australia and died there, tragically, in 1884. George William had 3 children: George (b. 1902); Edward (b. 1904) and Mabel (b. 1906), all born in Waterloo, Sydney. James John had 5 children: James (b. 1908); Leslie (b. 1910); Percy (b. 1911); Andrew (b. 1913) and Ella (b. 1915). I think that all were born in Coolgardie, Western Australia. I have a bit more information on them, but not much. I would love to hear from anyone who might be related or has further information. |

I am looking for his birth and death dates, marriage details and military record. | ||
| 22nd December 2016 |
Denise King |
| I can now confirm that John Tovey enlisted in the 3rd Middlesex at the age of 18 in 1852, which puts his birth date at 1834. He was described as a florist living in Battersea. It appears he married Elizabeth Burridge on April 25th 1853 at which time he was reported as living in Clapham. | |

| I am also looking for this Peter Tovey. I am looking for him to see if he has any recollection of a camp his grandfather operated on Harvey's Lake in Vermont. | |
| 14th December 2021 |
Doug Myers |
| Based on an Internet search, it appears that Peter Tovey died in 2014 at age 70, a resident of Boston. Corroboration for this appears in a search entry mentioning George Tovey as a relative of Peter Tovey, South Hadley, MA as a former address, and 1944 as Peter’s birth year. I much regret that my search for Peter concluded with these results. | |

W. Tovey (possibly a fishmonger). Does anyone know of a Tovey who owned a shop
in that area?

| My grandfather was Thomas George Tovey (always known as George, I think because his father was also Thomas). He lived in Rush Green in Romford and worked for many years at May and Baker pesticide plant in Dagenham. I'd love to know more about him if anyone can help. | ||

| I am trying to find the burial place of my grandmother, Emily Matilda Harget (née Tovey) who was born in July 1878 in Barton Regis. She was the daughter of George Tovey and Elizabeth Milton. Emily married John Thomas Harget in 1904 in Bristol and they moved to Aberystwyth before 1916. She died in January 1919, but we are unable to find any record of her grave. She was not buried in Aberystwyth, and may have been taken back to Bristol to be buried in a family grave. I anyone has any information, we would be very very grateful. | ||

| I have traced my line back to Samuel Tovey, Gloucester c. 1742 where the family remained for the next three generations. In 1857 they appear in Stratford upon Avon, Wootton Wawen and Leamington, then to Birmingham at the turn of the century. My great-grandfather, Frederick Tovey, was the chauffeur to Lord and Lady Docker, who owned the BSA factory in Birmingham. I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about this part of the Tovey family. | ||
