Family servants over 2 decades...Oops!
« on: Sunday 09 August 09 22:12 BST (UK) »
Please could anyone kindly check the 1861/71 census Liverpool for the Fisher family. I would really like to know the occupation of the Male head of the household. The females are Margaret and Agnes Fisher.

 In 1881 their servant was Mary Ann Harris of Shipston (a witness on a marriage certificate linked to my hubby's tree)

I have been told the 1871 census for the Fishers, has a Mary Ann Blakeman of Shipston as a servant.
 
I have also been informed the 1861 census has Eleanor Bradley of Shipston, also in service with the Fisher family.

These 3 ladies are all connected to the Bradley family of Shipston on Stour.

I have 3 seafarers from Denmark who all married into the Bradley family. I am hoping if Daddy Fisher is connected in some way to Danish trading, it will give me a new lead in finding the sailors path to L'Pool.


Many Thanks
