Hi RootsChat Family,

Does anyone have sources mentioning the census and probate records of Victor and Zara?
Especially after her second Marriage?
Where where they staying after 1939?
Does anyone have links to share on familysearch.org about the First Husband Berry's Family and Second Husband Burroughes.
I was also wondering why Sybil put Berry's name into the probate instead of Zara?

These questions are twisting my heads!!!
I am writing a book on life of Mr.Robert Fischer and his contributions to Madurai City, and any of his family lineages living today, as a honor, I will provide a copy of book to you and mention you as well. Kindly connect with me in private chat for the same intended purpose.

Thanks again for your undivided Support, any additional information would be duly documented in my pages.

Thank You, to Collective Genius of everyone !!
I have got most of my research queries Sorted.

Yet more open knots came in to the Puzzle.
This is a great progress to my research !!

That marks no biological heir for Robert Fischer, so far !!
I shall keep posted on any further research queries.

Sincerely,
Ram

Thank You very much for the Collective Genius in bringing the most crucial aspects of Mr. and Mrs. Fischer. Your efforts are hugely respected and noted for the literature support for the family.

I have 5 more Mysteries around their life waiting to be unveiled kindly share your same enthusiasm with my research:

Mystery-1: Was there any conflict between Mr. Fischer and Queen?
I came across few case from Indian Records which clearly depicts the friction of relations with the Queen and Mr.Fischer and also Queen is closely related to Mr. James Samuel Drury, I would like to know the politics of those days that happened with these two. He was also seen to have multiple cases and allegations for standing with the People of Madurai against the Secretary of State.

Ref: Robert Fischer And Ors. vs The Secretary Of State For India In ... on 23 November, 1908 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1600887/
Ref: Queen Empress vs R. Fischer on 3 March, 1891 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/881034/

Mystery-2: Was there any threats to his life and so he has to fake his own death?
Church records says he was dead just a month after his famous case with one landlord/businessman by 1908.
Still I find him in a Ship Journey with Sybil Fischer in 1929 from UK to US.
Why should this man fake his death and leave the business, assets and family ownership to his beloved wife?

Ref: Burial Records at St. Mathias, Madura, 1908 (In Tree)
Ref: US Immigration Records in Sep, 12, 1929, Ship S.S. Samaria, from Liver Pool to New York.

Mystery-3: What were his activities (Political, Financial, Social) from 1908 - 1929 (Last Active)? When and Where is his real death US / UK/ IN?
If he was in exile what were his ambitions and motivations during the tenure. I see an active American Madura Mission - Report from 1900 to 1930 for development and restructuring of Madurai City since 1834. I am sure Fischer was subtly involved in it, taking his past interests in Practicing Law into account.

Ref: American Madura Mission - Reports from 1900 to 1930 (PDFs)

Mystery-4: Is Sybel related to Isabelle somehow? Why should she take good care of Zara Maud Fischer after demised of Mrs.Fischer in 1884. If Zara was born in 1902 how she took the family Name 'Maud" ? Were there any other Children for Mr. Fischer? Why the little Zara and Sybil have to travel between US and UK time on time? Was there a Studies or Marriage Proposal going on?
If yes was that groom within Fischer or Sybel or Isabelle or Fuller Family? And this question can lead to finiding the present lineage of Zara Fischer.

Ref: All Immigration records To and From : India, UK, US I got Few References but mostly missing pieces.

Mystery-5:How and Where was his Schooling, Law Education and Was he attached to any Family Members Post WW1? If So are there any descendants connected to them?

This details are important because the Robert Fischer seems to have a completely different family tree from Sybil's and Isabelle's Tree. What was his correct Family and Professional Background.

PS: Robert Fischer made his Bachelor Barrister at Law School of St Michael, Paddington, UK. NO References I have got there.

Please feel free to connect with me for any records or new informations you have. Due to Size Limitation I cannot put all of those work in the single thread.
I am sure Mr and Mrs. Fischer deserves the recognition for their incredible life they have lived. I hae a duty to share the same with their today Family. These Information would be carefully documented in a Book with the Madurai City for our future.

Thanks,

I am looking for family lines of Esq. Robert Fischer (1841), s/o George Frederick Fischer II (Zemindar of Salem), who was a Law Barrister, Fundraiser, Entrepreneur and Merchant in Madura City of British Colonial India. A road was named after him as Robert Fischer Road in Present day Madurai City. He was fondly called as "Fischer Durai" by local tamils in late 1800s which shows the respect for him and his family. He lived his entire life for development of Madurai City and its People.

I am also looking for information on whereabouts and howabouts of Sybil (Sybel) Fischer (New Zealand) (W) and Zara Fischer (Madurai, India) (D), Who left India and lived in UK and US, time to time.

Anyone who knows their current descendants or any other Spouses or Children for this Robert Fischer, Kindly let me know.

I am having limited information on them, but cannot have complete information of their life after 1908.

For your reference I have added some trees in the chat:

Robert Fischer:

or

Sybel Fischer:

https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/pedigree/portrait/L4MT-3NR

Zara (Maud) Fischer
https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/pedigree/portrait/GJ59-451

I have two doubts with the above provided trees:
1. Whether the two Robert Fischer given above are same person or different person?
2. If same person, Did he had two wives or both are two names of a same person?

Is there any other records available in US or UK?
