Thomas Fisher's parents are proving elusive. He was born 1793 in Hertfordshire, married Sabrah Swift, 1811, then Charlotte Andrews, 1831. He had 2 siblings, William and Sarah. I have no birth dates for them but William m. Hannah Ensworth in 1816 and Sarah m. Jeremiah Taylor in 1806. They all appear to be Romany. Unfortunately, none of the marriage records I've found have info. on the parents.
Anyone help, please?

The baptisms in Bushey, Hertfordshire, in particular, allow an insight into family connections, for during the years that Sarah and Jeremiah were baptising their children there, two other families, Thomas and Sabrah Fisher, and William and Hannah Fisher, residing at Chalk Hill, Bushey, basket makers, were also recorded in the baptisms. Since Sarah was a Fisher prior to her marriage it is likely that these were brothers and sisters-in-law. William and Hannah Fisher baptised Elizabeth Ann on 13th February 1817, whilst Thomas and Sabrah baptised Joseph on 10th December 1815, Isaac and William on 1st November 1821 and Jeremiah on 3rd April 1825. It is hard not to see this last baptism as a tribute to their brother-in-law, Jeremiah Taylor.

Hi Maddie

Thanks for reply. I have the 1841 census. I suspect the Thomas fisher baptised at the Abbey is not my gggrandfather, much as I'd love him to be. I was born in St Albans. But of London parents, not local.

Hi Ann

Thank you for the info.
Yes, I have the baptism records and also the info. from Gypsy Geneology. Interesting site. Unfortunately, I'm no further on with tracing Thomas's parents. I have refs. to the parents of both his wives.

Thanks anyway.

If you find anything else please advise, Joan
