Well I found a 2nd Mary Fisk in the Same area and Parish born around the same date which makes this even more confusing.

This Mary Fisk married a George Parslow in Bath somerset

I found a record of William and Marry Fisk of Wilcot baptizing their Daughter Mary Fisk in 1814. William the Father was also a confectioner. My Mary Fisk marriage Banns with William Fortt (also a confectioner) was from Wilcot.

Granted my Mary Fisk would of been 16-ish at the time but the baptism record doesn't state when that Mary was born.

The one newspaper clip States that Robert Fisk of Badingham, Suffolk was my Mary Fisk's Father but I can find nothing much proving that or who the mother is?

Was it C. of E.? Custom was infant baptism. Most babies would have been between a few days and a few months old when they were baptised. Infant mortality was high, especially during 1st year of life.

Yeah don't think that was the right couple. Or baptism

I found 10 Robert Fisk's of the right age to be my Mary Fisk's father in Suffolk with daughters Named Marry.
I have eliminated all but 2 of them.

most likely possibility is
Robert Fiske family search number 93gv-q2q
Elizabeth Copping kp7j-nkv
they have a daughter Mary born 1799 (mine was born 1796) which is close enough to be the same thing.


the other couple I am looking at as possible parents are
Robert Fisk Kn7289m
and Ann Pipe pv7p-ml2


I have also found one Robert Fisk that has no information other than his name and that he was born in Badingham Stuffolk (right locatiion) and is the right age
