Do you have anything on this family in your records. Anything will be appreciated. Betty Fisher Prim

Sorry, Ginger, all the entries in the family Bible are England. No towns or counties.

This may possibly connect to my Fisher family. My great grandmother, Electa Malvina Fisher, had a brother named Frederick Tatoret Fisher b. 3/2/1861 in Newark, NJ. I don't have any further information on him, just the birth entry in the family Bible. Please contact me at blsdas@aol.com if anyone else can connect with this marriage page.

Hello Cheryl, I recall my mother telling me, when I was very young, that, "All the Fisher boys are named John." I've been stuck at my GGGrandfather for more than 20 years. They all seemed to have been born not too far from Newmarket, Suffolk, the horse-racing center of England. Great-grandfather John Fisher was a Sergeant in the Inniskillen Dragoons in 1859. After his retirement in Edinburgh, Scotland in1880, he moved back to his wife's hometown of Ashton-Under, Lyne, Lancashire, and earned his living as a Riding Master. I have a copy of his marriage certificate to Anne Owens and it gives his father's name as, ... you guessed it.... John Fisher, Blacksmith. It seems that they were all associated with horses. Please keep me in mind if you should come across any interesting connections. Cheers! John Fisher (What else!)

Ginger, As far as I know right now they came from Alliston, Ont. Canada. I do not know where they came from in England. Nor which generation. I first thought from family lore that my great grandfather came from their but now I don't think so it may have been the generation of John Fisher prior to 1856 his death date.

Hello Dennis, Thanks for the suggested broader possibilities. The information in the 1860 Census would suggest that Sarah was just at or before her age of majority when she wed. This is what has led me to believe that her use of Fisher is possibly a maternal name. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Reiley [mailto:reiley@usol.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 9:41 AM To: FISHER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FISHER] Sarah Fisher McLaughlin Hi Dennis, Have you really thought about those three names, Sarah Fisher McLaughlin. My first thought is that her maiden name was Sarah Fisher who married a McLaughlin, then widowed, married Samuel Carpenter. If true, I would label her as Sarah Fisher McLaughlin Carpenter. Just like I label my grandmother Nettie Fischer Reiley Paquette. It is also not uncommon for women who are very proud of their heritage to retain their maiden name as a middle name. It was not unusual for widowed women to still be referred to by a previous marriage if they had children by that marriage, it identified those previous children as being born in wedlock instead of out of wedlock. A major sin back then. Using a double name was also a sign that the woman was well known in the community by her old marriage. A marriage without children or one ended by divorce tends to have the previous married name dropped. Because of that I suspect Sarah was a widow with at least one child when she married Samuel Carpenter. Although she could have been a double widow with Fisher and McLaughlin children. Men suffering accidental deaths was not unusual back then, hazardous occupations were very common and safety equipment was rare. The bad news is that a possible McLaughlin marriage was in the early 1800s and the census did not list the names of children. By the time the census did, any McLaughlin children would probably have left the Carpenter home. But a key might be in the census if children are listed that are older than the Carpenter marriage. Children older than a marriage back then almost always reveal a previous marriage, not an out of wedlock birth. Sorry about increasing your possibilities, but it is always best to have the wide view.

I have more entries re siblings from a Fisher family Bible in my aunt's possession. Beverly Thompson Schreck blsdas@aol.com

Carol, My John Fisher I beleive was from the Alliston Area Simcoe Co. The date of death I have is listed for 1856 and unknown wife 1882. I beleive that he had a son John, and I am looking for the connection of Ralph Fisher to this same Fisher family. The family bible also has Aldershot listed. Don't really know what that means. I started out looking for my great grandfather William Jesse Fisher and His father and family, I beleive that this is one in the same. Thought to actually find gggrandfather in England.

Hi...please find below descendants of John Romaine Fisher. The person I am really interested in is Robert Reaves Fisher 1902 - ? He was born in Bonavista, Newfoundland. He went by the name "Redford". As a young man he migrated to the USA. I don't know when he left Newfoundland or when he arrived. I don't know if he ever married and had children. And I doubt that he is still living, although some of his siblings lived a ripe old age. Please accept my apologies in providing little information on Redford. If any one can help me I would deeply appreciate it. Thanks, Gene. P.S. Perhaps someone can direct me to an excellent web page in the USA that offer me some insight.
