on the subject of Dea's Fish Fish names

this is one of them with a good name for father

Baptisms: 1 Jul 1806 Lower Chapel Independent, Darwen, Lancashire, England
Fish Fish - Son of Burgoyne Fish & Ann
Born: 4 May 1806
Abode: Chapels

and a lot of fishes in these two

Baptisms: 30 Mar 1824 Lower Chapel Independent, Over Darwen, Lancashire, England
Fish Fish - Son of Thomas Fish & Betty (formerly Fish)
Born: 18 Feb 1824
Abode: Chapels Over Darwen Blackburn

Baptisms: 25 Aug 1833 Lower Chapel Independent, Over Darwen, Lancashire, England
Fish Fish - Son of John Fish & Mary (formerly Fish)
Born: 9 May 1833
Abode: Over Darwen Blackburn

I wonder if (being Lancashire) there is a 'Chips Fish' anywhere?

I once had to search for the name 'Fish Fish' and it seems there are 7 on 1841, 9 on 1851 and 8 on 1861 - all came from Lancashire, I weem to remember!!

Thought it was very strange at the time, but they ARE there!

It is also an exposed area probably prone to freezing in winter.

I've had some new information come through about Ms Haystack.

Now then i have been told that she maybe from a place called Bedlam Bottom, all i can give you on this is what Google tells me and that the place is in Hampshire?

So i need to establish if there really is such a place and if Ms Haystack really was lost in Bedlam?

If she is in Bedlam where does that leave Norman?
