INTRODUCTION
THE
FISHERS
1. My own
(paternal) branch of the FISHER family has been traced back to my
great-great-great-grandfather William Fisher, a farmer born in Tipton, Staffordshire
in around 1781. The information obtained to date is summarised together
with its sources for the family from John, who was born around
1650, down to my
grandfather, Joseph, who was born in Tipton in 1878 and
joined the Royal Marines in London in 1895. The corresponding
Fisher family tree is shown here. Please let me know
on joe.fisher@physics.org if any of this
information is useful to you, or is wrong or if you can add to it.
2.
Information on other Fishers in the area is also being sought. That from
Kevin A Cole of Lexington, MA concerns a Tipton family from William
Fisher
(born 1682) to James Fisher (born 1782) Please inform him on kcole14@juno.com
copied to joe.fisher@physics.org if any of that information is useful to
you, or is wrong or if you can add to it.
3.
Information about "Fishers" in general in and around the Tipton
area is also being collected. So far it covers their marriages and births/baptisms together with
extracts from the Tipton Census returns.
Please let me know on joe.fisher@physics.org if any of this
information is useful to you, or is wrong or if you can add to it.
4. Finally,
general information on Tipton itself and the
surrounding areas has been (and is being) collected. Please let me
know on joe.fisher@physics.org if any of this
information is useful to you, or is wrong or if you can add to it.
THE
PEELINGS
5. My own
(maternal) branch of the PEELING family has been traced back to my
great-great-great-grandfather Robert Peeling, an agricultural labourer
born in Norfolk in around 1790. The information obtained so far is
summarised together with its sources for the family from Robert
down to my grandfather, Alfred, who was born in Cubitt Town in 1872.
Please let me know on joe.fisher@physics.org if any of this
information is useful to you, or is wrong or if you can add to it.
6. General
information about the Stanfield and
Mileham
areas of Norfolk and the Cubitt Town area of London is being
collected together here as a general aid. Please let me know on joe.fisher@physics.org if any of this
