Alright...I confess and apologise 

Oh no no no. No one is to blame, no one is at fault, no apologies necessary.  It is always difficult with threads that are so closely related and cross over several counties. There has to be some duplicated information. 

Carol, what a speedy helpful response from Ilkeston Historical Society! Did you send them a copy of the article about Mary Ann? If not they will probably be interested to read it.

[Ruskie]

Ok, I am officially lost/confused/stupid. 

Who is the Thomas Fisher referred to by the Ilkeston Historical Society chap? I thought Harriett Fisher's father was George Fisher? 

[CarolRR]

There is no need whatsoever for anyone here to be apologizing for anything.  What a great group of people.
Thomas Fisher is George Fisher's father.  The guy at Ilkeston (my cousin! a somewhat distant one) went backwards instead of forward, I think it's because my connection with him is through this Thomas Fisher.    I responded to that information by asking about 'my' Harriet's other children and enquired about James Hall.  He's going to take a look and see what he can find.  He also offered to show me around town should I decide to visit.    Life is good.   Oh ...  I offered to send copies of the newspaper articles, which I referenced in my email to him.  He didn't respond so perhaps he has access to them himself - I gave him dates, etc.  I'll let you know when the next installment from him arrives.

I am allowing myself to apologize!    I misled you with the above information. 
Here is the information that I received in my second email for the Ilkeston Historical Society.  (George Fisher's father, Thomas Fisher's mother was "Esther Fisher", daughter of Thomas Fisher and Ann Flinders, who married in 1754.)

"Anyway I shall try and take time to look at where the Fisher line goes to in
Ilkeston. My reference to you possibly being a distant relative comes from
the marriage of Ann Flinders to Thomas Fisher in 1754 if I am right they had
quite a few children over a period of 20 years, Esther included.
If she was the mother of your Thomas then that makes us very distant
cousins."

Hi Carol

I too have been following this sad but fascinating story with great interest.  I wonder if it may be useful to send a link to the Rootschat threads to your Ilkeston contact so that he can see for himself all the info that has been found (if he's got few hours spare to read it all  )

Ah thank you! 

Let's hope this is the right family for you Carol. A nice little tree is growing.
