Renewing my search for one of my aunts Rose or sometimes Rosa Fisher born Paston 1891 daughter of Albert Herbert Fisher and Harriet nee Rowe Appears on 1901 census in Scarborough 1911 census in Norwich (no further details readily available) Marries a Henry W Clarke June 1912 in Norwich A Henry W Clarke of about the right age , 28, dies in 1916 in Kings Lynn. No offspring found. Have scoured FreeBMD for a remarriage or death. Seems Rose A Clarke was a popular name! One , of the right age, 49, dies in Hackney in 1940. A letter from one of her nieces indicated the Rose died in a train crash. Unable to substantiate this and the niece died before I could pursue it further. I realise Clarkes and Fishers abound but hopeful that somebody can add to my meagre information. Additional 1911 census info would be grateful David

Rose Fisher aged 20 born Edingthorpe was a servant to Richard Harper in Norwich in 1911. Edingthorpe does not look too far from Paston on my map. Could she be the one?

Hi David Her birth was registered as Rosa in the March qtr of 1891 registered Smallburgh In 1891 she is Rosa, with family aged 3 months In 1901 with mother (no father at home) as Rose aged 10 In 1911 she is aged 20 born Edington (nr Paston) she is a domestic servant with a HARPER household So at no time is she a Rose or Rosa A , so what makes you believe the 1912 marriage is her? Do you have a birthdate for her as thats the best way to check the 1939 National Identity Register Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/06/2016 15:10, DavidTennant via wrote: > Renewing my search for one of my aunts Rose or sometimes Rosa Fisher > born Paston 1891 daughter of Albert Herbert Fisher and Harriet nee Rowe > Appears on 1901 census in Scarborough > 1911 census in Norwich (no further details readily available) > Marries a Henry W Clarke June 1912 in Norwich > A Henry W Clarke of about the right age , 28, dies in 1916 in Kings Lynn. > No offspring found. > Have scoured FreeBMD for a remarriage or death.

Nivard She appears on the 1891 census as Rosa age 3months and born at Paston My mother, her sister, was born 1895 at Edingthorpe so who knows? 1901 census father is listed on the Scarborough Hospital return. A patient? It's sometime since I concluded the marriage to Clarke was hers., so I've forgotten the reasoning. You are right to raise doubts. Further to the train crash my understanding was that it was during WW1. I too have searched the fatalities in WW1 train crashes with no success. A death, if it was her, in Hackney in 1940 could have been as a result of the blitz perhaps? A bit of background The Fishers moved to Scarborough c 1899 leaving my Mother with an aunt in Suffield. She, a person of her time, never mentioned Rose(a). The family moved from Scarborough to Canada in 1912 leaving Rose and another older sister who was getting married in UK. Rose obviously moved back to Norfolk.

Found this but only any good as a lead to newspaper reports as there are few details. Does say whether there were deaths. http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/eventlisting.php Rosie On 29/06/2016 15:10, DavidTennant via wrote: > Renewing my search for one of my aunts Rose or sometimes Rosa Fisher > born Paston 1891 daughter of Albert Herbert Fisher and Harriet nee Rowe > Appears on 1901 census in Scarborough > 1911 census in Norwich (no further details readily available) > Marries a Henry W Clarke June 1912 in Norwich > A Henry W Clarke of about the right age , 28, dies in 1916 in Kings Lynn. > No offspring found. > Have scoured FreeBMD for a remarriage or death.
