Hi Krishna
The information that I have at the moment is that the John Bennett Hearsey you talk of was one of 10 children by Lionel and Amelia Hearsey. He was born 1876 and succeeded to the title of Taluqdar of Mamri in Kheri Dist. in 1911, if that means anything to you as is does not to me. I also have that Capt. Lionel D.W. Hearsey lived at Haripur P.O. Pilibhit dist. U.P. India in 1938-39. Again I hope that means something to you. I will look further for you soon. Also, did you know that Major General John Bennett Hearsey, Amelia's father, was very interested in bugs and butterflies, etc. There is a large collection, 1400 specimens, held at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History that he collected and sent to England in his time. Some of the species are still studied today even though are over one hundred years old. He also painted plants, again there is one painting at the Oxford museum and I believe some at the National Archives.
I hope this is a little help for you,
regards

Hello ! my maternal grandmother, May Rosamond Claire Hearsey, born 1885 ,  was the daughter of Hariett Elizza Hersey and Andrew William Hearsey.

My mother was born in Mussourie India

I believe Hariett lived to a grand age as my mother (now 88) seems to remember her.

I have some information about the part of the Hearsey family but I have some gaps.

Hello and Welcome Martin,

Nice to hear from another distant cousin and Hearsey family member 

I am sure we all have gaps in our Hearsey trees, I know I have.
You may be able to fill some of your gaps from the earlier parts of this thread or add to the information given here.

I do not have a lot of information about Harriett Eliza and Andrew William Hearsey apart from their births and marriage dates, a brief history of Andrew William Hearsey's Infantry career and his involvement in the Indian Mutiny also the date he died at Ranchi on 19 July 1896 and the names of 10 of their children. Unfortunately I have no date of death for Harriett Eliza

I would be most interested to know more.

I was very interested to read all this Salmon/Hearsey information. Am currently trying to track back via Sarah Welsh (wife of William Broome) as I believe she was a direct descendant of Capt Francis Light (founder of Penang) and his son William (founder of Adelaide). A lot of founding!

Hi smiderlich

I am related to George Paris Salmon from his first son.  Have we spoken before?

Hi,

I'm not related to the Hersey family, but I have in my possession (it's a long story) some photographs of the Hersey family who lived in India during the early part of the last century. I think they lived in Pondicherry. Would anyone like to see them ?
