Hi Nicole I have around 70 FISHERs in my "possibly related" list. I can't claim that they are all related but in my case those that are come predominantly from Essex, just on the south side of the river Stour - the river that divides Suffolk from Essex. My ggf moved from Essex to Suffolk (where I am) in about 1860 following the spread of the railway network into Suffolk from Essex. I can get my FISHER tree back to 1750, but with many having large families, who knows where some of them migrated to. If you look at http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Surnames.aspx you will see that in 1998 there were around 46,000 of them in the UK, with Norfolk, the north east and north west of England particularly strong. But none of mine appear to have origins in Suffolk. But if any of yours have an Essex connection, the possibilities are endless.

I have some Fishers who turned into Fisher-Hobbs. Anyone else have Fisher-Hobbs in their tree?
