Hi - Saw your post searching on Hersey. Could your George Hersey have been born in America? There is a George Hersey b. June 16, 1798, Boston, Massachusetts
"The Hersey Family, Tracing the Descendents of William Hersey, 1635 - 1994"
There is no information about this George other than his birthdate, which is unusual. The family is pretty well documented and childhood deaths are usually recorded as well notes about individuals moving, so maybe this is your George. It appears he fell off the Earth, which might be the same as moving to England. Working backwards, his parents and paternal grandparents are:
William Hersey (March 19, 1764) and Sarah ? (1766)
William Hersey (October 24, 1741, Boston, Mass.) and Martha Russell
Israel Hersey (April 1, 1702, Hingham, Mass.) and Tabatha Parkman (January 1, 1721)
John Hersey (October 27, 1659, Hingham, Mass.) and Elizabeth ? (Hingham, Mass)
William Hersey (1632, Reading, Berks) and Rebeccah Chubbuck (April 1641, Hingham, Mass.)
William Hersey (August 22, 1596, Reading, St. Giles, Berks) and Elizabeth Croade (1610, Suffolk, Eng.)
Nathaniell Hercy (abt 1566, either Swanton Morley, Norfolk or Reading St. Giles, Berks) & Ann ?
