Hi Linda,
I found two Alice Fishers born 1875

Births Jun 1875 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FISHER Alice Rebecca Chesterfield 7b 620

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Sep 1875 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fisher Alice Mary Chesterfield 7b 627

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately the only way to know which is your Alice, is to send for the certificates........hopefully one will be right and then you can find out what Sarahs maiden name was... and send for the marriage certificate for George Fisher and Sarah ?
which will give you Georges fathers name and occupation.

Hope this helps I know it is long and drawn out !!!


Regards Vera

You said you had 1 of the childrens B/C

So i asked what was the mum maiden name and i'll look for the marriage..Then if you get the M/C it will give you his dads name to then find him in the census

Linda

Linda Report 10 Dec 2007 15:32

The only info I have is the same as I have had today. I,m open to any suggestions. Where do you think I should look next ? By the way thankyou for your help so far.

Julie

Julie Report 10 Dec 2007 15:27

All 3 women were born in Suffolk
Ann & Susannah were the same year born
Sarah H out by 1 year

But it looks like you don't want to give out any info..i can't help..but then again im sure people have tried to help with this before

Linda

Linda Report 10 Dec 2007 15:21

The two woman were different ages. Its difficult.

Julie

Julie Report 10 Dec 2007 15:12

so what the maiden name of the mum and which mum is it...cos i think there all the same lady and i see if i can see the marriage you'll need the dads name to pick him up in the census

Linda

Linda Report 10 Dec 2007 15:07

I do,nt have the marriage certificate. His first wife only gives her name as Sarah H. The second one was Susannah. I do have one of his childrens birth certificate.

Julie

Julie Report 10 Dec 2007 15:04

What makes you think he was born in Bury St Edmunds..all 3 say Suffolk and only 1 says Bury..and his wife has 3 different names

Do you have his M/C for his dads name

Linda

Linda Report 10 Dec 2007 15:02
