Help re: William and Edward Fisher London

[avm228]

...and for William:

Baptism, St Bartholomew, Bethnal Green

27 March 1862

William FISHER

son of William FISHER, dock labourer, and Mary Anne.  Address: 19 Barnsley St.

I can trace Mary Ann through to 1911 on census records.

In 1881 is she the Mary A. FISHER in Bromley St Leonard (20-yr-old William with her)?: RG11/498/107/5.  If so she says she was born in Ipswich, which at least is helpfully less vague than in 1871 ("Suffolk") .

Does she ever give any other indication of where in Suffolk she was from?

1891 she is just listed as from Suffolk...though interestingly, in the house she has apparently taken in a 7 month old Nurse Child. 
Her son Edward is back with her then, and they are in Bromley St Leonard, 22 Perring Street, Schedule 53.

After that, I don't have copies of the census records, just notes from.

hi
Are we happy that the name is "Fisher" or could it be "Flisher". on my tree I have a william Flisher who gave his dur: jane away in 1837.
all the best.

Hi,

I've not seen in my tree any variations on the name Fisher--however, that doesn't mean that there haven't been any.  (The other name I'm searching is Jeakes which is also Jacks, Jakes, Jacques, Jukes, etc so I'm well acquainted with changing names!)

I can't find any reference of my William having a daughter Jane, plus he was born around 1829 so too young to have given a child away in 1837.  So it's unlikely to be the same one.

best of luck trying to find out more!

Hi My GG Grandmother was Jane Flisher, she married Henry John Bowbrick(this is my family name) on 25/12/1837 at the parish church of St Olave's in Southwark Surrey. Her father was William Flisher b 8/11/1765-1829, her mother was Ann Hodges 20/7/1766-1845. they were married in Cheriton 12/12/ 1785. She did have a brother William b 1787=1854 also a brother Edward b 1800- 1862. Jane was born in Sandgate in Kent. My history on the Flishers goes back to 1640 so if you need anymor please let me know, Regards Elizabeth147

Hi Hilda Karen From Reading here

I agree with every thing, one query I have started  looking at  nanny Bows line your aunt -- which brother or line did she appear from I know she was orphaned by 8 and in a children's home but as she was a first cousin to grandad (uncle jack) she was a bowbrick , so she must have been the daughter of a brother of Henry?  K

Hi Karen, Aunt Nell's mother was Mary Bowbrick who was born  in Portsmouth in 1872-1897. Father of Nell is unknown that is why she kept the Bowbrick name i guess.
Mary's father was Henry John Bowbrick who was born in 1838, he was the one who was on the Warrior and the Victory, he was in the navy for 30yrs. My brother George has all the original papers of all the ships he was on, don't know if you knew this. My Dad's and Uncle Jack's father was also Henry John born 1866, he was Mary's older brother.I have notes on all their siblings also their father's siblings so if you need anymore let me know. I have now got stuck on my great-great great grandfather, i know he was Thomas Bowbrick and he was a baker by trade and possible married a Sarah ? born about 1788 but can't get any further.Great hearing from you anyway, hope everyone is well up there, Love Hilda
