Dear Coz
Oops yes, you did mention the remove!!  But after all what's a remove in a generation or two? 
Do you remember your antecedents?  I find it helps such a lot.  For example I remember three of my great-grandparents well, and one of them I knew right until I was well grown-up, in other words she was not just a shadowy figure from when I was three or something like that.  If I take it back to her great-grandparents, I feel the link goes back for miles.
Sadly it is not the particular great-grandparents we have been discussing that I remember -  I just mean in general terms.
Would you like to know, though, that your 4th cousin twice removed - viz my father is going to be 91 years old tomorrow?!!  Now he can remember a good way back which brings the forebears to life, doesn't it?  He remembers his grandmother, Maud, who was born in India, the one who married Mordaunt the polo-player!
One more titbit, nothing to do with the Hearseys is:  that my papa's grandfather (not the one on your side) was borne in William IV's reign.  I mean my darling Daddy is still with us, going up to London, etc etc and yet his grandpa was born before Queen Victoria came to the throne - I was bowled over when I found out!!
Sorry it's late, I digress, Marione.

Dear Coz Chrystalight
My information is that my Great-Great-Grandfather was not Mordaunt Money Salmon as you very reasonably suggested.  Mordaunt Money apparently died childless in the Mutiny aged in his thirties.  In fact there was an eldest son, not mentioned in your list. another William Broome Salmon, born 1809, from whom we are descended (but doubtless my Great-grandfather was indeed named Mordaunt after his father's brother!)
Anyway this William Broome Salmon b 1809 married Sarah Welsh and they had 18 children.  Mordaunt was one of the youngest of the family but he lived into his thirties.  Sadly he was killed, as I mentioned before, playing polo only a few months after he married my great-grandmother, Maud Hancock.  She went on to produce his twin sons.  One twin, my great-uncle Max was married but died childless.  The elder twin was my grandfather, Lionel Salmon.
So actually Mordaunt was "never a father" but has produced 65 descendants!!
You say we are 5th cousins but I think it is perhaps "once removed".  I say this because of the two Hearsey sisters, Charlotte is your x4 great grandmother, whereas Marion is my x3 great grandmother. 
It is really, really touching, isn't it, that Marian who perished in the river should have brought us together?

Dear Cousin Crystalight!
My grandfather was Lionel Mordaunt Broome Salmon, a twin born June 1888.  His father, who so sadly predeceased him having been killed playing polo, was Mordaunt Broome Salmon and his mother was Maud Hancock.
(Mordaunt's paternal grandmother was the said Marion Hearsey).
Are we on your extended family tree and may I ask where you fit in?
Marione.

I was so interested to read this as I heard the same story from my grandparents who died in the 1970's.  I am a direct descendant of Mrs Hearsey, so the unfortunate Marian who perished in the torrent would have been some sort of great-great aunt.  I also read about this occurrence somewhere on the internet, though it was a different source as not exactly the same wording as you have used.
