Jenkinson Fisher and Florence May Fisher nee Collins
Quite close to David Fisher family grave at Springvale Botanical Cemetery, you can find the grave of Florence May Fisher nee Collins (abt 1888-1936), the wife of Jenkinson Fisher (1892-1965). Sadly the headstone is cracked. The grave is located beside a shady tree in the Church of England, Monumental, Compartment R, Section, Grave 26. Springvale Cemetery record that her husband Jenkinson Fisher is also buried there, but he is not noted on the headstone. Jenkinson is the son of Joseph and Agnes Fisher, brother of Elsyian Lucas nee Fisher, and nephew of David Fisher. I took this photo when I visited the cemetery in March 2012.

Elsyian Lucas nee Fisher
Springvale Botanical Cemetery is also the resting place of Elsyian Lucas nee Fisher (1889-1954), the daughter of Joseph and Agnes Fisher. She is buried with her husband McKenzie Alexander Lucas (1888-1975) in the Presbyterian, Monumental, Compartment C, Section 7, Grave 23. Sadly their daughter Dorothy Isobel Lucas is also buried there. It is only a small distance away from her uncle David Fisher's family grave, and also her brother Jenkinson Fisher's wife Florence May Fisher nee Collins.

David Fisher and Louisa Fisher nee Yate
Springvale Botanical Cemetery is the resting place for David Fisher (1953-1925) and his wife Louisa Fisher nee Yate (1956-1934), daughters Anne (1882-1914) and Emily Victoria (1897-1963). They are all buried together in the Fisher family grave in the Church of England, Monumental, Compartment I Section 2 Grave 8 and 8A. These photographs were taken by me in March 2012. It is very difficult to read the inscriptions of Ann and Emily due to lichen.

This photo is from his son, John Francis Raven Fisher's photo album and taken in 1951. The headstones have since fallen over and all within the cemetery moved to the side of the churchyard. Sadly we couldn't sight these headstones when we visited some 30 years ago.

Joseph Fisher and Agnes nee Jenkinson
Thanks to Dorothy (William Fisher and Jane Brown line), I have found that Joseph Fisher, brother of John Raven Fisher, also emigrated to Victoria! He married Agnes Jenkinson on 20 September 1888 at St. Matthews Church, Prahran. Joseph died on 18 November 1933 at 169 Cochrane Street Elsternwick, his wife Agnes predeceasing him in 1911. Joseph (1860-1933) and his wife Agnes (1865-1911) are buried together at Brighton General Cemetery. Here's a photo of the headstone I took last weekend.
