England / Re: David Fish - when did he die?
« on: Sunday 18 August 24 20:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I've just read your prehistoric post from 2007 and if you are still in need of this information then according to my notes he died in 1916. This is for a David FISH (b1835 in Hoghton) who married three times (to MALONE/LATHAM/LUND in turn).

I have done extensive researches into the many FISH families with Darwen connexions in an attempt to "sort them out" and would be able to send you the tree that I have constructed for this particular Fish "species" if this would be helpful. This tree begins with James FISH (c1779) for certain - but tentatively a generation earlier with a Joseph FISH who married Ann RILEY in 1780.

I'm best contacted directly by email (rather than replying to this message) as I do not use Rootschat as a matter of course. My email address is: gaataylor@blueyonder.co.uk

Cheers,
Glenn

Me again,

Going back to the top of this thread, there is a James & Lettice FISH living at Bottoms in Darwen in 1851. Could this be the same couple as you don't give ages?

Hi,

It's possibly me that's responsible for the "massive tree" of FISH from Darwen and Blackburn. I can help out with the Fish FISH and Shepherd FISH mentioned above but I prefer email so that I can send PDf files if necessary.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 lookup - Holden - Darwen

I have encountered many instances in Darwen where a male child's forename was what would now be considered a surname. Examples include:

Fish FISH
Cooper COOPER
Wellington WOODCOCK
Fish ECCLES
Eccles GRIMSHAW

and tangentially in my own family tree

Duckworth ENTWISTLE

I'm sure that this was widespread in Lancashire generally. I once met a Harrison CLEGG, a Wright SHAW and, of course, not fogetting that the composer Harrison BIRTWISTLE comes from Accrington.

Lancashire / Re: Marriage: St Mary Church, Blackburn

Hi,

Here is the family in 1841:

HO107/503/5  F13 P15  Ewood ?Mill
Matthew FISH   50   Labourer in ?foundry
Ellen   50      
John FISH   25
Molinder   20
Mary Ann   3   
Hannah   8 mo

The parents in 1851:
F692 Ewood, Livesey
Matthew FISH   H   M   65   Handloom weaver   Lower Darwen
Ellen   W   M   67   Handloom weaver   Blackburn

John & Melinda/Molinder do not appear to have been in Darwen or Blackburn in 1851. Keep in mind that Ewood is about 0.5 mile north of the current Darwen/Blackburn boundary and that Lower Darwen (pre 1880-ish) included Ewood and reached about a mile or so into current Darwen to slightly south of St Cuthbert's Church [Junction of Earnsdale Rd and Blackburn Rd].

I have extensive data about Darwen FISHes and am happy to look through my files if given a specific question. I don't check this site very often and so a direct email is more reliable. I can be reached via:

(provided you make the obvious substitutions for [at] and [dot] )

Sandra,

I suspect that the 1841 Lettice that you found is the one in Darwen.

At the risk of sounding like I'm giving egg-sucking advice, did you try Laetitia as well as Letitia?

Cheers,

Glenn

Hi Sharon,

No problem.

For what it's worth, I can confirm that James & Lettice are NOT in Darwen in the 1841 Census (as I have extracted all the FISH from all the Darwen censuses). I haven't extracted FISH from 1841 Blackburn Census because the lack of relationships and birthplaces makes it a lot of effort for little gain that can be confirmed.

Changing focus...

There is a VARLEY/FISH connexion in Darwen in 1871:
Sarah VARLEY (b.~1792) with daughter Hannah FISH nee VARLEY (b.~1816).

I am also in email contact with someone pursuing Darwen COTTAM family lines.

Regards,

Glenn

Hi,

I think these are the ones you are looking for (1851):

HO107/2259   (Blackburn East)

Folio 52  49 Ainsworth St
Richard FISH, Boarder, 9, Scholar, Blackburn
Ann FISH, Boarder, 5, Scholar, Blackburn
Letitia FISH, Boarder, 2, Scholar, Blackburn
[Boarding with KENYON family]

I have extensive data about the Darwen FISH families so do get back to me if your researches move in this direction.
