Hello, this is my first post. I was looking for information on my husband's family and found this most wonderful conversation with photographs of my husband's grandmother Ruby Harriet Hearsey and her family. My mother-in-law says that the parents in the photograph are her grandparents Neville (possibly Theophilus) Hearsey  and Evelyn  Anderson .  Evelyn was red-haired and from Scotland . Ruby's daughter, my mother-in-law Patricia, is still alive and living in California. She was born and raised in India with two younger sisters  and one younger brother. She married Norman Charles Jefferys  of Taunton Massachusetts  when he was stationed  abroad . My husband was born in 1946 in Madras India and has 2 younger sisters. They lived in India and Sri Lanka until around 1963 when they moved to Pelham New York. I have heard the stories from the family of the Indian blood. And was fascinated to find more information here. Patricia is now 95 years old and still exceptionally brilliant. She has many stories to tell about the family, and has some history as well. I will try to introduce her to this forum, though her relationship with technology is an uneasy one . Please feel free to ask me any questions that I might ask of her in aid of more recent Hearsey family information. I took the liberty of downloading the photographs of Ruby and sending them to her this evening. She was delighted! There are some very interesting and amazing stories about Ruby that Patricia, being a writer, has memorialized. This is all very exciting! :-)
