Hearsey/Salmon Discussion

Here, where I am able, are my responses to your questions:

For my own records it would be nice to know if you have the following information:

1. Looking at my notes for General William Broome Salmon (your great (x3) grandparent) I have no record of his death other than he retired to England.

Here is what I have:

Death: Smalbro, Norfolk, Eng
Burial: Feb 5 1843 - Norfolk, England
GS Film Number: 1526653
Digital Folder Number: 004143474
Image Number: 754


2. The daughter of General William Broome Salmon and Marion Hearsey (your great (x3) grandparents) died tragically in 1827 - I do not have and cannot find a date of birth for her?

I have 4 daughters and 4 sons listed for this couple.  Do you know which daughter?  Also, is it Marion or Marian?  I have been using the latter.

3. I believe Marion Hearsey (your great (x3) grandparent) was the child of Andrew Willson Hearsey and Charlotte Crane. It would appear that Andrew Willson Hearsey had a child by a Jat lady in 1782 five years before he married Charlotte this child was Hyder (Jung) Young Hearsey but I have never been able to find a name for the mother?

I have relied on this thread and the Pearse book for most of my information on Hyder, so unfortunately I am unable to shed any light on this mystery.

4. Lieut.-General William Broome Salmon and Sarah Welsh (your great(x2) grandparents) I believe from my notes had one child Mourdant Broome Salmon but I also have a note that Lieut.-General William Broome Salmon had 18 children one of them obviosly Alexander MacDonald Salmon.
Do you know the others? and were they all born to Sarah Walsh?

Here are the names & dates of 15 offspring of William & Sarah that I have discovered:

Marian (b: 30 May 1838 Poona, India; d: 7 Oct 1841)
Bellina Sophia (b: 24 Dec 1840 Deesa, Maharashira, India; d: 1928)
Maria (b: 2 Feb 1842 Deesa, Bombay, India: d: 11 Oct 1842)
Emma (b:9 Mar 1843 Benares, India; d: 12 Oct 1930)
Sara Rose (b: 6 Apr 1843, At Sea; d: 22 Jun 1911)
Emily "Matilda" (b: abt 1846 India)
William Harry (b: 2 Feb 1848 Bombay, India; d: 6 Apr 1939)
(Unknown) (b: 25 Sep 1849 Bombay, India)
Alexander MacDonald (b: 30 Oct 1850 Neilgherries, India; d: 1914)
Arthur Welsh (b:2 Apr 1852 Bombay, India)
Mordaunt Broome (b: 17 Oct 1853 Bombay India)
Mary Eliza (b: 3 Sep 1855 Bombay, India)
Elizabeth (b: 16 Oct 1856 Kurrachee, India; d: 17 Dec 1856)
Charlotte Evangeline (b 10 Mar 1859 Bombay, India; d: 21 Apr 1861)
Agnes (b: 20 Jul 1860 Coonoor, Tamil Nadu, India;)


5. Other than her name I have no details whatsoever of Sarah Walsh, do you know anymore?

Sarah Welsh (b: Jan 8 1817; d: Jan 27 1900) was the daughter of James Welsh (1775-1861) and Sarah Light (1779-1839).  Sarah Light was the daughter of Captain Francis Light (1740-1794) and Martinha Rozalles (1762-1822).  Francis Light was the founder & Governor of Penang.  He also had a son, brother to Sarah, named William Light (1786-1839) who founded and designed Adelaide Australia.  There is much to be found on the internet about William and Francis Light.  I believe the National Portrait Gallery in London has a painting of William Light, although not on display.

I hope this information is useful.  I had problems with the size of attachments to this post and so will provide some images and photos shortly.

Although 'my' side of the tree follows the Hearsey/Bradshawe line it is interesting to 'put meat on the bones' so to speak.

If I can help you in any way please let me know.
I will look forward to hearing form you as I am sure followers of this thread will do also.
