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.

Elizabeth Raven Hope nee Fisher

Booroondara Cemetery in Kew is where the Hope family are buried.  Here you will find Elizabeth Raven Hope nee Fisher (1874-1963),  her husband John (1876-1940), son Ernest (1903-1926) and infant son Keith (1908-1908). The headstone is quite difficult to read.  Elizabeth Raven Hope is John Raven Fisher's sister.
