Fish Family from Fleetwood, Lancashire
« on: Monday 15 June 09 13:15 BST (UK) »
I am a descendant of Elizabeth McGowan whose daughter Mary Ann McGowan (chr. 8 May 1853, Braddon, Isle of Man) married Lawrence Fish (born 1846, Fleetwood, Lancashire).  They lived at 7 North Church St., Thornton In Fylde, Lancashire on the 1871 census, 1881 and 1891 census with their children:

Elizabeth Fish (chr 22 Feb 1874) married John Riley
Mary Alice Fish (chr 5 Dec 1876) married the same John Riley above when her sister Elizabeth died.
Maude Jane Fish (abt 1877) married George Edwin Brown
Emily Florence Fish (chr 1 Feb 1880) married John Richard Atherton
Ada Adelaide Fish (1882-1882)
John Fish (chr 3 June 1884) married Elizabeth Williamson
Lawrence Fish (1886-1887)
Robert Fish (1888-1888)

Lawrence (1846, Fleetwood) is the son of John Fish (chr 27 March 1825, Blackpool, Lancashire) and Elizabeth Wilkinson (abt 1817, Thornton, Lancashire)

If anyone has these people in their line I would appreciate making contact.

Hi there,
My great grandmother was a Kate McGowan from Lancashire, Born abt 1875. I am finding it extremely difficult to track down her side of my family and wondered if this name rang any bells in your family tree?
Kate married in abt 1902 to a Patrick Feely and also lived in Ireland as she is listed on the 1911 Irish Census.
Can you help at all?
Many thanks
Alex

I suggest that you join the Fleetwood Past Facebook page.  A noted ironmonger' s shop in the town was Fish's in Lord St. Also see the Lancashire Family History's website. A block on the website allows you to look for members interested in surnames and townships.

Ho Alex

Why don't you do your own post for Kate McGowan's family, because this topic is headed Fish Family. It would be less confusing and more specific. :)
