Thank you Crystal 

I have posted this on the Restoration Board and had some fabulous restores, and many nice comments about her.

Because I couldn't chose between the restores, I posted the original.

Clever people on that board,    I have had some really tattered pictures restored beautifully - as you say it can be difficult to know which to choose because they are all so different

Not a photo as such but a picture from a family book (The Hearseys Five Generations) - my 4X great grandmothers brother Sir John Bennett Hearsey KCB born 21 sept 1793 in India and died 23 Oct 1845 in France

Ooooh, that is impressive Crystal! What an interesting life story he must have!!

Yes Judy, I was shocked and amazed when I uncovered this side of the family, mostly born in India with impressive records in the East India Co and their Armies. I was extremely lucky with him as someone has written his biography. I wish the other sides of the tree were as easy to find
