Finally time to check out James Hearsey for Judy and sorry to say that I cannot at present find the connection with "my " branch of the Hearseys.
Hello and Welcome manhan,
I have Sir John Bennett Hearsey KCB in my tree 1793 - 1865 - he is the brother in law of Paris Bradshawe from whom I descend and he played a major part in The Great Rebellion 1857.
I have another John Bennett Hearsey ( son of Lionel Douglas Hearsey) Birth 26 June 1876 in Mussoorie, West Bengal, India - no further information.
and I have another John Bennett (Moorcroft) Hearsey (son of Hyder Young Hearsey all I know about him is:
On outbreak of the mutiny Captain John Hearsey was stationed at Sitapur, a station in Oudh where almost all Europeans were murdered, he compiled a narrative of his experiences for the government in 1858.
Commanding 6th regiment Oudh Military Police, then appointed to intelligence department
After this time I know little of the Hearseys in India - I would be interested to know of more recent Hearseys.
