Wondered if there are any Fisher's from New England out there.
My fathers name is Arthur E. Fisher, had a sister Alice.
Their father ( my grandfather ) was Philip Fisher died in 1976 in Lowell, MA.
His brother was Charles Jr., moved to PA. The father we think was Charles Sr.
Before that they came from Cambridge England.
Don't know much more than that.

Do you have any other details on Alice Ellershaw, I have a few in my tree. I am researching the Ellershaw name, my side came from the Lancashire and Manchester areas of England. I know that some emmigrated to the Brockton area of MA, USA and one even became Mayor for a short period. If this means anything to you I would like to hear from you.

Hughes and then married to Albert Gareis. Edward T. Fisher born 1892 and married Mae Gustafson. Llllian born 1896 and married Edward Gibbons. Need more further down? Are we related?

Also I googled mayor in brockton and saw that Leonard H. Ellershaw was mayor of Brockton 1960-1961. Seems to be the same people. I look forward to hearing from you.

My family is of Quaker descent. We have an Augustus G. Fisher. Born on the 17 December 1847 in Cherry Hills, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His death was on the 15 Jun 1934 in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, USA. His father ?Augustus Fisher?
was born in 1838 in North Second St. Phila, Pa. His death was
in Addison Twp.,Somerset Co.,Pennsylvania date unknown.

"Augustus G. Fisher. Born on the 17 December 1847"

"His father ?Augustus Fisher? was born in 1838"

So, Augustus was born when his father was 9 years old
