EDWARD RICHARD GEORGE HEATH

An account of the ancestry of Edward Heath was published as follows:

C.R. Humphery-Smith and Michael G. Heenan, “The Ancestry of Mr Edward Heath”, Family History, 4(1966):3-12, 114

A summary of the immediate ancestry given in the article is below. Much more detail is given there. However, it appears that the ancestry of Edward Heath’s maternal grandmother, Emily Harvey, was unknown at the time that Humphery-Smith and Heenan were writing, and it seems that they may have made a misidentification involving Heath’s paternal grandmother, Julia Louisa Hobday. Further research is being undertaken on these two women.
