Great Grandparents Harvey

I'm looking for information on John and Ellen (Eileen) Harvey
they were buried at Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church. Am trying to find out more information on these folks, I was under the impression that they did live in St Johns West (I could be wrong). From what I've heard from my mom that Ellen (Eileen) was from Ireland. If you can help we would be very greatful and so would my mom. Ellen (Eileen's) maiden name was Kehoe (Keough, or Keogh) that is a big one.
Again in advance with whatever help you're able to give

HI, Holy Rosary Parish is in Portugal Cove, just outside St. John's. There were a couple of familes of Harvey's who lived not far from the church.

Thank you for your input on the Harvey's. The only thing that might be of help is my grandparents owned a truck farm. My grandfather said they couldn't grow anything on the land. Hopefully that could be some help. My great grandfathers' second wifes' name was Mary Murphy she was a nurse. Maybe, someone might remember or know which one of the Harveys' it was. Again, Thank you....

Surnames: Harvey in Portugal Cove, St John's Newfoundlan
Thank you so much for your input. The only other thing that be of some help is that my great grandparents owned a truck farm. And the second wife by the name of Mary Murphy had been a nurse, she'd married my great grandfather when he was very ill as she'd been taking care of him for some time. My grandfather Peter Francis Harvey said that the land was unable to grow anything. Maybe, this can be of some help, I hope.

God Bless you. The John Harvey you found was born in October 1857 he died July 30, 1934. Mary was born in May of 1881. I did look but obviously not in the right spot. Thank you :-) Now to find something on Eileen (Ellen Kehoe) Harvey her tombstone is there with John & Peter Francis Harvey....
I tried to get on the link that you sent it gave me an Error msg.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

Look at number 134.

Hope this helps.
