Find Ancestors

Thank you MargaretM

The Fishers are a nightmare but I am not surprised as the area she is looking at eg Mallins Rig Vine St.etc was a tenement area of the Docks in the East End of Sunderland....
I have so far found 25 Fisher deaths with address' for Vine Street and Mallins Rig...that's not counting those with no number.attached to the address...


Barbara Jane Fisher b 1895 d.1898 50 Vine Street. (same address as John Fishers Attestation Papers)

The address in 1871 is also 24 Stafford St.

Christine....Although I am absolutely confused with all the Fishers et al....this may help clarify some of issues...

William Fisher married Barbara Brown she was the eldest daughter of Edward Brown and Cordelia Walton.

Edward Brown 1801-1864 was Publican of The Fisherman's Arms 4 Burleigh St.(1851-1864)
Cordelia 1802-1870...

1841 Census they were living Moor St.East with children:
Barbara 12
Henry 10
Edward 2
Possibly some other children between Henry and Ed. large gap in years.

1851 They were in Burleigh St.

Barbara 23
Henry 20
Cordelia 15 (missing from 1841)
Edward 12
John 10
Jane 6
George 2
Ann Anderson. Niece. 12.

1861 shows that Henry Fisher aged 7 grandson was with them.

between 1864-1871 both Edward and Cordelia had died

1871...

Cordelia was living with her brothers

Edward
John
George
Henry Fisher 20 (Nephew)
Frances Fisher 16 (Niece)

1881....Back at The Fishermans Arms Burleigh St.
Cordelia
Edward
John.

Cordelia died at 24 Stafford St. 1883.

As per your post above....

The Edward Brown (1841) living with Barbara Fisher 24 Stafford St. (1891 Census) would be her brother not her uncle




I don't have access to 1871 Census to check the address of Cordelia et al.

thanks for that Maddie your 10 steps ahead of me amazing :-) :-) ...

looking at the adds on census ..could edward (1858) be in two places on the 1881 c ??

I have him as living with wife Catherine at 1 nesham sq with their children john 3 and William 1..but also checked on the add he gave on marriage( 1877) cert of 24 Stafford st and there is an Edward 22 married living with mother barbabra
the 1891 c of the same add show Barbara 64 widow also living there an Edward brown uncle (b1841) ( so your wedding above is williams marriage to Barbara brown :-))

if my 1881 of 1 nesham sq is also right and he was in the 2 places, this family then moved to 50 vine st in 1891c and then the reason i haven't been able to find gt granddad john(b1878) in 1901 is that the army record info which was found earlier in thread is him and he was indeed in south Africa :-) ?!?!?!?!

ive just found this :-
????
1901c add coronation st ( same area family lived )
Catherine 49 1852 widow servant
sarah murgatroyd 33 1868 H married greenegrocer

maybe her maybe not !!

off out now so will pick up tonight ..

Christine x

Catherine is certainly not on 1901 - I have even tried just initials in case she is in an institution.

Dea x

morning Austin ...thanks so much for your help so far ..

don't have any of the death certs ..think that may have to be my next step ..

I haven't looked into Catherines line yet..

Christine x

So, Edward died in 1898, so wouldn't be on the 1901

Name: Edward Fisher
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Registration Year: 1898
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 40
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a Page: 376

If this is Catherine's death she should be on the 1901

Name: Catherine Fisher
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857
Registration Year: 1906
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 49
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a Page: 373

I don't see Catherine on the 1901- so presumably John is with his mother somewhere in 1901. Do you have Catherine (1906) or John's (1898) death certificate for the address?

Austin thanks just realised its johns son john my granddad who was the drunk : :-0

Dea thanks yep that is my sarah a. :-)

arrgh Henriettas dad had to be called Thomas !!!!
this Thomas doesn't seem ( ha maybe wrong) to be the Thomas I have in the 1911c @ malings rigg with a wife Margaret

will find the connection and john one day !!!!

Christine x

ohh Austin that may be him esp with add of malings rig :-)

chris Ho yeah that was my first post in 2011 when I had just found outwho my grandfather was and that's when I first got the Henrietta info but couldn't connect anywhere ..

Dea im just off to a meeting so will pick up again later tonight

Christine x

Back to the beginning then !

So, this would be 'your' Sarah in 1891 (though her age is slightly out?):

Perhaps relating to your John??

Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette - Monday 11 July 1932

Ninth Appearance at 20
"It is very regrettable that a young man of 20 should have these convictions against him" said the Mayor (Ald. E H Brown) to John Fisher (20) of Maling's Rigg who was accused at Sunderland Police Court today of drunkeness and disorderly conduct. PC Sample proved the case. Fisher, who made his ninth appearance was fined £1.

Thank you Austin - just back from the school run so I will take a look now !
