I would very much like to hear from anyone in the USA or UK who is researching FISHER or GIBBENS / GIBBONS and the associated family names in Kent, England, particularly in the villages south of Canterbury such as Upper and Lower Hardres, Elham, Elmstead, Hawkinge, Coldred and Eastry. A researcher of FREDERICK GIBBENS and MINNIE ROSECRANS in the USA may be able to throw some light on our brickwalls which are FISHER prior to 1787, GIBBONS prior to 1675 and the children of FREDERICK GIBBENS and ELIZABETH HOPPER. I have: 1. ROBERT2 FISHER (FISHER1)1 was born 1787 in Lower Hardres c1851. He married MARY RIGDEN, daughter of JEREMIAH RIGDEN and ELIZABETH. She was born 1793 in Gravesend c1851. 2. ROBERT3 FISHER (ROBERT2, FISHER1) was born 1823 in Upper Hadres Elham c1851, and died 1911. He married SARAH TAYLOR 1849. She was born 1828 in Hawkinge, and died 1881. 3. PIERCE2 FISHER (FISHER1) He married MARY COURT, daughter of WILLIAM COURT and ELIZABETH. And this is the connection with USA: 4. FREDERICK7 GIBBENS (FREDERICK6, JOHN5, THOMAS4 GIBBONS, SAMUEL3, JOHN2, EDWARD1) was born 1864, and died 1901 in United States of America. He married MINNIE ESTHER ROSECRANS. She was born 1872, and died 1932. Children of FREDERICK GIBBENS and MINNIE ROSECRANS are: i. FRANK8 GIBBENS, b. United States of America. ii. ALBERT GIBBENS, b. 1899, United States of America. The link between FISHER and GIBBENS / GIBBONS is a marriage: 5. DAVID EDWARD4 FISHER (ROBERT3, ROBERT2, FISHER1) was born 1866, and died 1924. He married EMMA GIBBENS, daughter of FREDERICK6 GIBBENS (JOHN5, THOMAS4 GIBBONS, SAMUEL3, JOHN2, EDWARD1) and ELIZABETH HOPPER. She was born 1866 in Eastry, Kent, England, and died 1943 in Smarden, Kent.
