Re: John Fisher, born c.1852 Aston/Birmingham
Hi Paul
Do you have the marriage cert for John, if so what is his fathers full name (middle) and his occupation and what is the age given for John
John Fisher/Mary Maria Bolton 4th qtr 1871 Aston 6d 519
I looked at the 1861 Census but not found a John with father Thomas that would fit near the year of birth you give, there was one born 1857 but this is ruled out because of age in 1871. There was another born 1847 with father Thomas, he was born in Leicestershire living Aston with siblings born in Aston, apart from that, nothing.

Hi Bren
Yes, I have the marriage certificate but it's not very helpful. The age of both John and Mary Maria is given as 19 and address of both of them is given as Glover Street (Bordesley) - no number. John's father is Thomas Fisher (no middle name), Labourer. John's profession in "Iron plate worker" with nothing shown for Mary Maria. Her father, George Bolton, is shown as a Coppersmith.
The witnesses were Thomas and Ruth Wimblett. I have established that a Ruth Fisher married a Thomas Wimblett in 1859. In the 1861 census they lived in 1 Court, Glover Street. Presumably that's the address John and Mary Maria used for the marriage. I don't believe Ruth was a sister of John: she was probably a cousin or an aunt.
Any information you can add would be much appreciated.
