I know from past correspondence with Quaker Fisher researchers that there is a possibility that their lines trace back to Cumberland in England. It just so happens that this afternoon I put the Loweswater (Cumberland) Protestation 1641/2 online. This lists eight Fishers. http://www.rumbutter.net/cum-gen-prot-loweswater/alphabetical.html This Protestation was, of course, taken before the Society of Friends started. The Pardshaw Quaker Register also includes Fishers from Loweswater: http://www.rumbutter.net/gen-cumb-pard-births/f-1-1656-1667.html and Brigham: http://www.rumbutter.net/gen-cumb-pard-births/f-4-1698-1715.html http://www.rumbutter.net/gen-cumb-pard-births/f-5-1719-1741.html Although lots of individuals from the Pardshaw Meeting went from Cumberland to Ireland (and some on to America), the Fisher evidence doesn't look particularly strong. Chris PS Note that you aren't going to get much by searching the Pardshaw Registers. They are images, and have only been partially transcribed yet. You need to look at the images individually.
