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

Hi, I am new to this site so apologies now for any mistakes. I am a Hearsey descendant and have been researching the family for years. I have been reading your chats and now have decided to join in. My cousin is a male Hearsey for the person who was interested in genes, I won't post his name but he is an AH for all those in the know. I have a picture of the Princess Hyder married and various books that I have collected over the years.
