Hu Susan and Jeff,

Have received your Email from Forest of Dean Family History Trust, Re Fire at Half Timbered House in Highleadon. The Home of The Harvey family.
I have not been on this site for a while as busy with my Ancestry tree and forgot about the posting re the fire !Sorry!
The reason I believe that the house was ruined by fire was I stayed there 2 years ago on the farm and the owners who own it now, told me that it had burned down. and the new house rebuilt - from memory about 1862/3. A Plaque on the farmhouse stating the year of the build.
If anyone comes accross any information it would be interesting to know if this is correct and if any of the very large family of Harvey's who lived there were injured in any way.
Susan you say your are researching the Harvey tree I have it on Ancestry if you are a member of Ancestry let me know as my tree is private but I could allow you to have a look at it.
Kindest regards to you and Jeff for your interest
Jean E Findlay.
