Headstone Thomas and Hannah Fisher, John and Ann Fisher  1923
St Bees Churchyard, St Bees, Cumbria

John Raven Fisher's grandparents Thomas Fisher and Hannah Fisher nee Raven, and his parents John and Ann nee Nail, are buried in St Bees Churchyard, in Cumberland in England. This photograph of the grave was taken in 1923 by Thomas Fisher visiting from Australia.

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.

William Fisher family

So....have just found out William Fisher, brother of John Raven Fisher,  and Jane Helen Brown's grand daughter who is still living in Stawell aged 81!  As far as I know she is the only living descendant so hopefully she may have photos.  Her grandmother Jane Helen Fisher is buried close by at Brighton Cemetery.  As to William Fisher, I think he died before Jane and daughter Hannah Mina came out to Victoria.  But Hannah's surviving brothers in 1930 are missing in action - Sandwith, Stanley and Dickinson.  Not sure it they came out to Australia?  Haven't found them back in the UK...maybe they went to South Africa to join other Fisher relatives...
