Other Countries / Re: Hearsey/Salmon family Hon East India Co

 :D No I have not seen this image, so thank you for that.
I have not recorded anyone beyond the offspring of Andrew William Hearsey and therefore have no record of Joseph Richard Hearsey's parents.
My own line progresses down through John Bennett Hearsey's sister, Charlotte Maria Hearsey who married Paris Bradshawe.
But it will be useful to anyone else reading the thread who may well belong to that line of the Hearsey's

Hello Ratty,

There seems to be a slight mix up here between Andrew Wilson Hearsey. I have him as Born 1752 • St. Botolph by Billingsgate, London England married to Charlotte Crane. His son was Lt Gen Sir John Bennett Born 21 Sept 1793 • Dinapore, Bihar, India died as stated

and Andrew William Hearsey who was the son of Sir John Bennett above Birth 20 Jul 1838 • Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India He Married Harriett Eliza Hearsey one son as you state was Theophilus Neville Hearsey as you state. I only have knowledge of 10 children and will be looking to see if I can find the other two!

I have no knowledge of Joseph Richard Hearsey I will be trying to see how he fits in

Essex / Re: Lindsell/Linsell/Lynsell surname
« on: Monday 26 August 19 21:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Unfortunately I can see no link to 'my' Lindsell family in Essex, as it does not date back before William born 1874.
I hope someone else on here can help you.  :)

Hi Lightheart,

I hope that your search for John Hersey will be successful. The DNA results must also help with your search.

Good Luck

Hello Lightfoot and welcome to the thread,
There is a lot of Hearsey information here on this thread if you read through, I have looked at my offline tree and can only come up with one Sarah who was the daughter of Andrew Hearsey (Bengal Army) the Captain of an East Indiaman and the brother of Theophilus, an influential London Merchant, died in 1778 leaving one daughter and one son, Andrew Wilson Hearsey who had obtained a cadetship on the Bengal establishment in 1765.
Andrew's wife was Jane nee Cole but their daughter Sarah was born in England - Christening 17 November 1757 at St Botolph by Billingsgate so I imagine no match to yours. It would seem that most of 'my' Hearseys later settled back or had connections in England.
So many of the Hearseys were in India at that time I think very hard to trace without more information.
I hope that someone reading this may be able to help you, good luck with your search.

Crystal  :)

I received this yesterday from Joshua Mathew (Josh Historian on this thread) from India with whom I have been in contact for several years now. I thought it may be of interest to those with Hearsey and Anderson roots. The book he has written is the extraordinary story of Donald Anderson, son of author Kenneth Anderson and there are certain links to the Hearsey family.

My book 'The Last White Hunter' is now available in the UK (both print and electronic versions).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LAST-WHITE-HUNTER-Reminiscences-colonial/dp/9385509128/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527741534&sr=8-1&keywords=the+last+white+hunter

It will shortly appear in the magazine 'Who Do You Think You Are', and also in the FIBIS and BACSA newsletters.
But I'm counting on a few ideas from my Hearsey genealogy friend to spread the word in the UK (or anywhere outside India)
The Hearsey's have a small mention in my book (thanks to you) so one idea would definitely to include this on the RootsChat thread where we met each other. I've written to lostcousins.com, and I hope they will mention my book.

Any other ideas ? I would be most thankful.

Crystal  :D
