In the 1911 census my granfatherRichard Fisher aged 36 (born1 875?) Westmorland married and is a pit sinker. Cannot find a marriage to my Grandmother Sarah Johnson yet she had at 4 children to him to my knowledge.Found a Richard Fisher in other census from Ulverston which is where my mother was told he came from,both son and father in 1901 iron ore miners.
Found a marriage in 1897 for Richard Fisher to Agnes Tyson in Blackburn father Robert Fisher which ties in with census returns.
Notice he is often refered to as Richard Jackson Fisher.
1901 census shows Richard b1877
Robert b1850 father both iron ore miners
Agnes j Fisher b1878 SIster in law
Elizabeth A Fisher B1897.Niece
Is this Richards wife and not the sister in Law?
Found an Agnes Fisher died 1912 Kendal and Elizabeth Fisher died 1905 in preston
Do not know if this is the correct family as in 1911 shows married but no children shown.
I think he was employed by Pease and sons and he died at my my grandmothers in 1922.He never mentioned any of his family.
How do I confirm if this is the right man?
