Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 20 Send Message	I am looking for info on the above. Family Search has his baptism 21/06/1829. Father was Robert Fisher B. 1789. Mother was Mary Rigden B. 1796. 1841/1851 census has him living in Alkham, Kent. No trace after that. 1871/1881 census has a James Fisher but his mother wasn't Sarah! He had a sister Charlotte who is also listed as being born in 1829. (1841 census). This seems correct as Charlotte is shown living with her sister Elizabeth's family (surname Brenchley). Were James and Charlotte twins? Help please. Glengyle

	Where does Sarah come into this? You have the mother's name as Mary on the baptism How did you work back to James? 1841 census does not record relationships................ If the two you name were twins, one would have expected them to be baptised at the same time.............

	Didn't you try researching these people yourself on the IGI? That's where all the baptisms are taken from..............
