Diolch Rosie - I had read much of it online but I'm a bit of a Luddite where books are concerned and it will make it easier to get the attention of others with a milder interest in such matters  :)

Brilliant.I have always been interested in 'my own' family history and  asked my sister in law , your late husbands gt neice, about the large framed photo of William Hearsey Salmon and Merle. Having shared a camping holiday in Cornwall and seen various sites connected to the Salmon family along with some snippets of history I decided to have a delve into her family history. Basically it was all there to be found via the computer and increasingly fascinating - a family with amazing historical connections. I must get the book 'The Hearseys, Five generations of an Anglo Indian Family' and pass it on to Carol and her daughters. Regards.

Mrs Elizabeth Salmon: I believe the three portraits your son has are also available via the ghgraham site  :)

Having failed to upload the pic of William Hearsey Salmon and daughter Merle Paris Salmon I sent the photo to the site of a gentleman who has a fairly comprehensive tree of the Salmon family with several other relevent portraits. Google ghgraham.org this should bring up 'My Thompson Family Tree'. Click on the S to find the Salmon family names then click on William Hearsey Salmon 1841 -1911 and scroll down slightly to the portrait.  Nice to see Elizabeth Salmon  - wonder if she has any other 'ancient' Hearsey Salmon portraits ?

:) Diolch :) That is the same gentleman as in his gt grandaughters picture. He is looking directly at the camera wearing a more nautical hat at a slightly rakish angle, His impressive moustache reaches beyond his cheeks. His daughter Merle looks around 3 years old so the photo would be circa 1907 ? I will try and get my mind round uploading the photo again later.

I was told of the connection to the Zeigler family and the name is one of the given names for Ronald ( Zeiglor )  son of William Hearsey Salmon. Ronald himself married into the Ionides family, 2nd marriage I believe, and thus is connected to a family which gave - I presume it is not a loan - The Ionides collection to the Victoria and Albert museum. Still cannot upload the photo :(

Greetings Sante. The building of the cottage was mentioned while we were in Cornwall - I'm not sure if the cottage was pointed out though I think it might have been. I gained the impression that Merle was quite a character and I was not surprised to discover again via a newspaper that she had overturned a car in London circa 1926.

I have been trying to attach a photo of a large framed photo of William Hearsey Salmon and  daughter Merle which is in my sister in laws house.
I appear to have failed though it may yet appear half a dozen times. If anyone would like to see the pic and they can befriend Peter Trehearn on facebook I will make the photo available there ( I think I'm the only Peter Trehearn on facebook )

Perhaps there are two William Hearsey Salmons. Then again am I missing a clue that Colonial cattle farmer W H S married to Caroline might not be the same as Jessies W H S late of Monte Video, Uruguay  which has more cattle per head than any other country according to Wikipedia ??
