Couldn't find any more births under the names of Fisk - Parker but did find this one with a phonetic search:-

Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Fish Alice M (Parker) B.Stortford 3a 1815

and one under Fisk - Barker:-

Name: Cyril D W Fisk
Mother's Maiden Surname: Barker
Date of Registration: Oct Nov Dec 1917
Registration district: Bosmere
Registration county: Essex, Suffolk
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 1298

but you would have to buy the certs. to see if the parents match. (Lot of expense)?

HI CATHERINE
I dont think they are related dad must have been only child he never spoke of his family on the few times that we had contact never spoke of my mum or her family or his family and he has passed away many years ago now
so to late to find out. the pub that granparents ran was still run by the fisk family as name over the door very recently not sure if still open as not been to colchester town for a few years. it was no 12 short wyre st colchester little crown i think .any ideas if grandma remarried or when she died regards ruth

HI ALL
THANKS CASSIE solves riddle for me as grandma must have died when i was 2 and a year before our mum died in 1952 always wondered why
grandparents didnt look after us when our mum died now i know
thought for all these years we were abandoned from our own family
takes away part of the anger thanks for your help must get cert sent for
so i can start family tree. for my family regards ruth

Hello Ruth,

If you google - (pubs in colchester) - or - (little crown pub, colchester) - it will show you a site where you can see a photo of the pub. It also gives you contact details for the pub, if you give them a ring the owners may know the history of the pub or be able to put you in touch with someone who does.

hi all
i think rossetta havens probably not related areas and names dont seem to fit in.great grandads name is edwin not edison or edarn as have googled pub
little crown and he is down edwin parker as landlord from 189s to 1917 and grandma is landlady by 1925 dont know about inbetween dates allthough dad was born there in 1921 .need to get all my facts together so far and take a trip to libarary to see if they have trade directories would love to find some photos of grandparents as have nothing will sort out what cert i need and get them ordered but money tight so will have to see which ones most important to me thank you so much for all your help to you all its really made my week thanks ruth

Ruth,
I do think that all the names do correspond to the same person but there have just been mistakes made by the person doing the transcript.
If you check the census records all the other names fit.
If you look at the 1911 census, son Leonard is noted as Lensard and Pansey (in 1901) is now Pansy.
The transcripters often made spelling mistakes so you must have an open mind when researching.
Hope it all helps anyway.
Catherine
