Edward Richard George Heath

An article covering the ancestry of Edward Heath was published as follows:

C.R. Humphery-Smith and M.G. Heenan, “The Ancestry of Mr Edward Heath”, Family History [the journal of the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies], Vol 4 No 19 (January 1966)

Some additions (not relevant to the seize quartiers) were published in the next issue of the same journal.

A summary of the immediate ancestry follows. Much more detail is given in the article.

It seems that the ancestry of Edward Heath’s maternal grandmother, Emily Harvey (ca 1860-1917), was unknown at the time that Humphery-Smith and Heenan were writing, so it may be possible to add to this account in the future.
