Hobbs and Fisher family
- Charlton Kings
My great great grandfather was William Fisher. He was born about 1828 in Malswick (I think) Glos. At Charlton Kings Parish Church in 1845 he married Sarah Hobbs who was born about 1826 in Woodmancote, Cleeve, Glos - the daughter of Thomas Hobbs. Both William Fisher senior and Thomas Hobbs were farmers.
William and Sarah Fisher had a number of children - Samuel b. 1852 at Hampton, Cleeve; Thomas A b. 1855 at Hampton Cleeve; Edward b.1859 at Prestbury, Cleeve - and maybe others.
I think that Sarah died and William remarried someone called Mary - though I am not sure. If I am right he had another son called Frank Ernest Fisher b. 1863.
Edward went to live at Stancombe Farm, near Bisley where he was a cowman.
If you think your family history crosses mine please let me know.
