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.

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...
