West Quantoxhead burials include Alexander Cunibeer, husbandman of East Quantoxhead, buried 8 October 1702; a John Cunibeer, son of Michael, buried 2 April 1709; John Conibeer 21 July 1716; Joan Conibeer wife of Michael on 10 May 1718; Michael Cunibeer on 1 August 1722; Mr Joseph Conibeer of Bicknoller on 8 January 1734 and ?

Alexander Cunniber Fish was buried at Stogursey on 24 March 1784, aged 43 years. Reston [axky17@dsl.pipex.com, 15 March 2008] eMailed: … I'm descended from Lavinia Rowe who married John Thorne. She had a son called John Rowe Thorne, he was my gggrandpa. John Thorne of Stringston (near Stogursey) married Lavinia Fish at Stogursey on 23 February 1827 – ed.. 1.1.2.1.1 George Fish (1770…) m. Elizabeth Bishop (1765…)
This section is based on data from Martin Southwood's West Somerset Parish Register Transcription Website and the Orange Family WebSite on RootsWeb [accessed 10jun2011].

George Fish, eldest son of ALEXANDER CUNNIBER [Coneybeare] FISH and his wife MARY ADAMS, was baptised 5 February 1770 at Stogursey. George married Elizabeth Bishop on 2 January 1800 at Stogursey; it seems that Elizabeth had been baptised to JOHN [a chandler at Shurton] and ANN at Stogursey on 5 November 1765. George and Elizabeth had two known issue:

ANN FISH (baptised 22 February 1800 at Stogursey) and
MARY FISH (baptised 27 March 1802 at Stogursey).

Perhaps it is George's family listed in the 1841 census at Stogursey as follows:
It is possible that Alexander and Mary were the Alexander Fish, farmer of Stogursey, son of yeoman George, and Mary Fish of Stogursey, daughter of yeoman George, married at Stogursey on 5 November 1851..

1.1.2.1.2 ♦ Joseph Fish (1771…1851) m. Elizabeth Perrett (1771…1814-1841)

Joseph Fish married Elizabeth Perrett at Stogursey on 27 November 1792 . Elizabeth, baptised 1 February 1771, Stogursey, was the second of eleven known children born to THOMAS PERRETT and his wife MARY MILLARD. Bernie Nicholson (pers comm, 10 May 2002) has Joseph baptised in the Parish Church in Stogursey on 9 November 1771, the second son of ALEXANDER CUNNIBER [Coneybeare] FISH and his wife MARY ADAMS; Joseph had two brothers and four sisters. Bernie was hopeful of linking Joseph back two further generations to 1724. Early records at Stogursey also refer to a William Fish and Ann Sweeting being married in 1695 and “Wiliam ffifh – shoomaker' being buried on 19 December 1729.
Joseph and Elizabeth had eleven known children :

GEORGE FISH (baptised December 1792, Stogursey, died 1842, Cutcombe; married Joan Crockford, August 1819, Cutcombe),
ALEXANDER CONYBEARE FISH (baptised June 1794 (publicly received July 1794), Stogursey; married Elizabeth Stone at Over Stowey on 14 June 1829),
MARY FISH (baptised January 1796, Kilve SOM),
JONAS FISH ([?Thomas?] born October 1797, baptised November 1797, Kilve, died 1868 at Hawkington Cutcombe; never married),
GREGORY FISH (born June 1799, baptised July 1799, Kilve; married Harriett Ward, August 1823, Bristol),
JANE FISH (born May 1801, baptised June 1801, Kilve; married William Crockford, March 1824, Cutcombe),
ANN FISH (baptised May 1804, Cutcombe),
JOSEPH FISH (baptised April 1806, Cutcombe; married Marrianne Brewer, March 1837, Cutcombe; in 1851 and 1881 Joseph and Mary Ann were living in Selworthy),
JAMES FISH (baptised June 1807, Cutcombe; first married Mary Parker, November 1836, Bristol, later married Mary Thristle, March 1841, Bristol),
ANN FISH (born 1811 according to Bernie Nicholson (pers comm, 2002) died a spinster on 13 July 1880 at Stogursey),
HANNAH FISH (born August 1812, baptised October 1812, Cutcombe; married Thomas Langdon, October-December 1850, Bristol; the mother of Sarah Anne, baptised July 1843 at Cutcombe for Hannah Fish, single woman of Hawkington farm, Cutcombe) and
ROBERT FISH (baptised October 1814, Cutcombe (when his father was noted as a farmer at West Hawkington, Cutcombe); ?married).

A Mary Fish married Thomas Triggoll at Over Stowey SOM in March 1828, shortly before Alexander [Conybeare] Fish, son of JOSEPH FISH and ELIZABETH PERRETT, married Elizabeth Stone thereat in June 1829. It is very tempting to consider Mary Fish and Alexander Fish as siblings: Joseph and Elizabeth Perrett had a daughter Mary baptised at Kilve in 1796. However census records consistently indicate Mary Triggoll née Fish had been born about 1802 at Over Stowey [there were no Fish CoE baptisms at Over Stowey in this period] so unless Joseph and Elizabeth had another perhaps non-CoE Mary circa 1802 [so far no supporting record has been found] this does not appear a valid construction [note however that Joseph and Elizabeth had children Jane baptised 1801 at Kilve and Ann baptised 1804 at Cutcombe, so it may be possible a Mary was born in the interim].

The 1841 census lists Joseph and his some of his children at Hawkington Farm:

Jonas Fish died at Cutcombe on 19 December 1868, aged 72 years. Letters of Administration [for effects under £600] were granted on 13 February 1869 "of the Personal estate and effects of Jonas Fish late of Hawkington in the Parish of Cutcombe in the County of Somerset Yeoman a Bachelor deceased who died 13 December 1868 at Hawkington aforesaid were granted at Taunton to Joseph Fish of Chipstable in the County aforesaid Yeoman the Brother and one of the Next of Kin of the said Deceased he having been first sworn." The 1891 Census includes very few Fish or Perrett names in the Cutcombe area.
Joseph Fish passed away in March 1851, aged 80 years, as commemorated in an obituary as follows : Dunster — Sudden Death On Sunday morning last Mr Joseph Fish of Hawkington Farm, Cutcombe, near this town, went to Church a few minutes before divine service [?]was commenced. As he was sitting in his pew he was seen to fall away; some persons ran to his assistance, but before he could be removed he breathed his last. Deceased was about 80 years of age, and was highly respected by all who knew him. An inquest was held on the body before Mr MUNKTON on Tuesday last and the jury returned a verdict, "Died by the visitation of God". — Somerset County Herald and Great Western Advertiser, Saturday 22 March 1851

Emma Fish (Mary), born April 1844 at Lime Kiln Lane in the parish of St Augustine, Bristol, was the daughter of publican Robert Fish and his wife Elizabeth Williams. Emma's daughter Gertie (Lillian Gertrude Dunscombe née Cockle) seems to have had a strong emotional attachment to Coombe Farm: the suggestion is that Emma's father Robert was Robert Fish (baptised October 1814, Cutcombe), the youngest of Joseph Fish and Elizabeth Perrett's eleven children. For further details of Emma, click here.
It is likely that Henry Fish, who died at Bilbrooke ?SOM in 1931, was related to Joseph Fish and Elizabeth Perrett. Henry was survived by four children, two of them possibly the Misses Fish of Bilbrooke referred to in the 1951 letter from Amy Elizabeth Crockford to her cousin Alice Hagley.

1.1.2.1.2.1 George Fish (1792…1842) m. Joany Crockford (1794…1858)

George Fish, bachelor of Cutcombe, and Joany Crockford, a spinster of Cutcombe, were married in the parish church in August 1819, witnessed by James Crockford and James Widlake (clerk). Joan, baptised at Cutcombe in May 1794, was the fifth known child of JAMES CROCKFORD and his wife JOANY. George, born 1792 at Stogursey SOM, was the eldest of eleven children of JOSEPH FISH and his wife ELIZABETH PERRETT. Children born to George and Joany Fish included:

MARY FISH (baptised December 1819, Cutcombe; perhaps emigrated to NSW),
ELIZABETH FISH (baptised March 1821, Cutcombe),
ANNA FISH (baptised February 1824, Cutcombe, perhaps died in November 1842 aged 19),
ANN FISH (baptised October 1825, Cutcombe),
JANE FISH (baptised May 1827, Cutcombe, married George Thomas Jarrett, emigrated to NSW Australia, bore six issue and died 1906 in NSW),

eYoB = estimated year of birth (Not included in Census: based on simple subtraction of age from Census year). Position and Marital Status are inferred only [not enumerated in census] The baptismal register of 1819, 1821, 1824 and 1830 record that George was a farmer's son employed in husbandry; from 1825 to 1828 and from 1832 to 1837 he was described as a farmer of Cutcombe. At the time of Mary's birth in 1819 he was living with his parents. The 1841 census shews George at “Higher House Farm”, adjacent to his father Joseph's “Hawkington Farm”. With George was Joan, aged 47, six daughters and two sons. Bernie Nicholson noted (pers comm, 10 May 2002) that in 2001, Higher House Farm was still a working farm, the farmer living in the original house; though the farm appeared not as well cared for as Hawkington Farm, the stock looked fit and healthy. George Fish died of typhus fever on 28 December 1842, the day after his fiftieth birthday, and was buried at Cutcombe; Grace Baker was present when he died. The widowed Joany remarried on 18 January 1844, to James Pugsley, a widowed neighbour at Cutcombe. There appears to have been no issue to this marriage.For further details, refer to Crockford Lineage C-5.1.1.5.
Margaret Ford (2000) recalled that “for many years there was a letter in the Family Bible [?of George Fish born 1836] from George's Sister, Minnie, informing him of the where-abouts of his Nephews. Sadly this letter, which was written on 12 July 1889 “went missing”. It was believed that Minnie was at one time a home science or cooking teacher in Somerset” … “The names of the Nephews were Joe (in Portsmouth), George (the army in India) and Henry and Geoffrey whose whereabouts I cannot remember (…the letter … was gone from the Bible at the time of my Aunt's death in 1989).” “Either a Brother or Nephew imigrated to New Zealand. George's Daughters, Teresa and Harriet, visited the New Zealand family, possibly in the 1920s.”
Colin Fish of Melbourne (2001) wrote that he had researched the family of George Fish and Joan Crockford, whose children Jane and George both emigrated to Bathurst NSW. 1.1.2.1.2.1.1 Jane Fish (1827…c1906) m. George Thomas Jarrett (1832…1907)
Jane Fish, occasionally noted as Sarah Jane Fish, born April 1827 at Cutcombe SOM, was the daughter of farmer GEORGE FISH and his wife JOAN(Y) CROCKFORD. Aged 29, she married George Thomas Jarrett at Coalpit Heath, Gloucestershire, ENG in May 1856. George Jarrett had been born in Gloucestershire in February 1832, the son of THOMAS JARRETT and his wife HESTER.
George and Jane Jarrett emigrated to New South Wales almost immediately after their wedding, arriving in Sydney on 4 September 1856 aboard the Lloyds, by which date Jane's father was deceased and her mother living at Cutcombe, and George's mother was deceased and his father living at Frampton in Bristol. The emigration records note that George was aged 25, a blacksmith from Bristol Gloucester, while Jane was a cook aged 27 from Cutcombe Somerset; both were of the Church of England and could read and write. Though George stated he had no relatives already in Australia, Jane was noted as having a sister (unnamed) living in the colony; this may have been Mary.
In New South Wales, George and Jane became parents of six children:

GEORGE THOMAS JARRETT (birth registered at Patrick's Plains in 1857; death registered at Dubbo in 1921; in 1882 married Bridget Mary Kelly (died 1936) [both buried in old Dubbo Cemetery]),
WILLIAM EDWIN JARRETT [* rf Note below] (birth registered at Parramatta in 1859; death registered at Granville in 1943; marriage to Blanche Lovina Kable registered in West Macquarie district in 1888 (Blanche's birth to William and Ann Maria Kable registered at Bathurst in 1870, her death registered at Wollongong in 1945), six issue; settled at Port Kembla NSW),
CHARLES EDWARD JAMES JARRETT (born August 1861 at Durham Street, Bathurst, birth registered at Bathurst; died August 1934 at Parkes Bowling Club; in June 1887 at the Wesleyan Church in Parkes married Matilda Jenkins (born 1867, died 1907)),
JOSEPH CHARLES JARRETT (birth registered at Bathurst in 1863, death registered at Parkes in 1923),
MARY ANN JARRETT (born 1865 at Teapot Swamp, Bathurst, birth registered at Bathurst; died November 1937; in June 1881 married George Bailey [rf. Bailey Rowe, 29sep2003]) and
SARAH JANE JARRETT (birth registered at Bathurst in 1867, died 1911; in 1883 married Henry Purcival).

George was a carrier in 1865, and received an old age pension of £19/10/0 per annum in 1901. In 1903 he was living at Coobang, near Parkes.
The death of Jane Jarrett née Fish, daughter of George and Joan, was registered at Parkes in 1906. Jane's brother George owned a foundry in Bathurst; reportedly another brother James who owned land at Bathurst (this is currently unsubstantiated).
George Thomas Jarrett died on Christmas Day 1907, aged 78 years; he was buried in Parkes Methodist Cemetery. His occupation was given as blacksmith and he had been in Australia 53 years, and was survived by his children George T (aged 50 years), William (48), Charles J (46), Mary A (42) and Sarah J (40).
*Note: prior to Easter 2011, this author erroneously had William serving in World War 1: that was a different William Edwin Jarretti: born in Christchurch, New Zealand; a bachelor farmer aged 28 years and 3 months, he enlisted in the 1st Light Horse Regiment in World War I on 10 March 1916 at Menangle Park (service number 2329) [enlistment Attestation Papers note his mother as Jane Whitaker, 70 Shield St. Flemington, Victoria: this was also the postal address noted on his Application to Enlist]; on enlistment he was noted as height 5' 4¾", weight 140lbs., chest 34"-37", fresh complexion, dark brown hair and a Presbyterian, William embarked the RMS Mooltan for Suez on 19 August 1916 and returned to Australia on 13 March 1919. Rod Sullivan [eMail, 22 April 2011] drew attention to the WW1 enlistment of William Edwin Jarrett: rf also http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp?B=7369235&I=1&SE=1 [accessed Easter 2011].
The birth of William Edwin Jarrett to GEORGE JARRETT and JANE FISH was registered at Parramatta in 1859. His marriage to Blanche Lovina Kable registered in West Macquarie district in 1888; Blanche's birth to WILLIAM KABLE and ANN MARIA BARRY had been registered at Bathurst in 1870. William and Blanche had at least five children (order uncertain):

SYLVIA JANE JARRETT (birth registered at Blayney in 1890; death as Sylvia Jane Jenkins registered in Sydney in 1967; marriage to Richard Peerless E Jenkins, registered at Wollongong in 1910; possibly three issue; the 1954 Electoral Roll shews Richard [smltr.] and Sylvia [home duties] listed at Hazel Dell, 164 Wentworth Street, Port Kembla),

FRANCIS CHARLES JARRETT (birth registered at Blayney in 1894; death registered in NSW in 1977; marriage to Emily Theresa Ryan registered at Wollongong in 1919; the 1930 Electoral Roll shews Francis [farmer] and Emily [home duties] listed at Hazelgrove, Oberon),
DELLA LOVINA JARRETT (birth registered at Blayney in 1895; death as Della Lovina Scott on 16 September 1981, aged 86, 'late of Dee Why, formerly of Port Kembla', noted in the Sydney Morning Herald the following day; marriage to Charles Ernest Scott registered at Liverpool in 1919; the 1930 Electoral Roll shews Charles [labourer] and Della [home duties] listed at Wentworth Road, Port Kembla),
ANNIE EVELINE JARRETT (birth registered at Blayney in 1897; marriage to Edward Joseph Livermore registered at Wollongong in 1916; possibly one child; the 1930 Electoral Roll shews Edward [labourer] and Annie [home duties] listed at 24 Darcy Road, Port Kembla) and
MARY G JARRETT (birth registered at Blayney in 1910; a possible marriage, as Gwendoline Mary Jarrett, to Lance Francis Nobbs, registered at Bulli in 1945).

William and Blanche settled at Port Kembla NSW; it appears the had separated by the mid-1930s. The 1936 and 1937 Electoral Rolls shew William Edwin Jarrett [pensioner] at 30 Military Road, Port Kembla, along with Clifford Colonel Jarrett [labourer], Mervyn Clifford William Jarrett [labr.] and Olive Edna Irene Jarrett [home duties]; Blanche Lovina Jarrett [home duties] was enrolled at 213 Wentworth Street, Port Kembla; by 1943 Ivan Charles Jarrett [brickmaker] had joined those at 30 Military Road while Blanche was listed at 13 Third Avenue, Port Kembla. Ivan's marriage to Ida Mae Le Count was registered at wollongong in 1947. The death of William Edwin Jarrett was registered at Granville in 1943. The details of Blanche Lovina Jarrett née Kable was registered at Wollongong in 1945.

1.1.2.1.2.1.1.1.1 Clifford Colonel William Jarrett (1892…1965) m. Olive Edna Irene Alger (… 1969)
The birth of William C C Jarrett, son of WILLIAM EDWIN JARRETT and BLANCH LOVINA KABLE, was registered at Blayney in 1892. His marriage was registered as Colonel C Jarrett to Olive Edna Irene Alger at Wollongong in 1912. They appear to have been the parents of (at least):

MERVYN CLIFFORD WILLIAM JARRETT (birth registered at Wollongong in 1914; death registered in NSW in 1977; marriage to Dorothy Jean Meizer registered at Wollongong in 1945),
COLIN F JARRETT (birth and death registered at Wollongong in 1916),

The death of Clifford Colonel W Jarrett, son of WILLIAM EDWIN and BLANCHE LOVINA JARRETT, was registered at Ryde in 1965. The death of Olive Edna Jarrett, daughter of WILLIAM and LENA, was registered at Wollongong in 1969.

1.1.2.1.2.1.2 Emma Fish (1828…1918) m. William Nicholson (1817…1882)

Emma Fish, the sixth daughter of GEORGE FISH and his wife JOANY CROCKFORD, appears to have left Cutcombe within a few years of her father's death in 1842. At Bernecia, California USA on 30 January 1851, Emma married William Nicholson, an Englishman born at Harrow on 17 December 1817, the fifth child to GEORGE and LUCY NICHOLSON and baptised on 11 January 1818 at St Mary's, Harrow-on-the-Hill. George may have been associated with the “Load of Hay” hotel (renamed the “Wheatsheaf” in 1858) at Byron Hill, Harrow. A draper, it is possible he went to California about the time of the Gold Rush. William and Emma produced nine children; Roxeth, a hamlet and chapelry in the parish of Harrow, was mentioned in the places of birth:

WILLIAM SHERIDAN NICHOLSON (born 21 January 1852, Bernicia, California USA),
GEORGE NICHOLSON (born 18 April 1854 at sea, on the English ship Jessie Byrnes (captain Baker); married Rosa Emeline Cooper at Trinity Church, Napier NZ on 28 February 1877, officiant Rev. G S Smally),
CHARLES NICHOLSON (born 3 December 1855, Bernicia),
EMMA NICHOLSON (born 26 January 1858, Mongonui, NZ),
LOUISA NICHOLSON (born 11 June 1860, Mongonui),
OLIVER NICHOLSON (born 24 August 1864, Mongonui),
ALFRED NICHOLSON (born 9 October 1866, Mongonui),
AMELIA NICHOLSON (born 20 May 1871, Auckland, NZ) and
ALICE NICHOLSON (born 26 May 1873, Auckland).

William and Emma emigrated to New Zealand, to Mangonui in 1856 and later to Auckland where she survived her husband and died on 8 August 1918 (he died 9 August 1882 at Auckland), leaving eight children. Obituaries appeared as follows : Mrs Emma Nicholson The death of Mrs Emma Nicholson widow of the late Mr William Nicholson, which occurred yesterday at her residence Pitt St., removes yet another old colonist. Mrs Nicholson arrived in New Zealand with her husband from California 62 years ago, and settled at [?]Mangonui where Mr Nicholson engaged in farming. The family moved to Auckland 50 years ago, and Mrs Nicholson resided in the house they originally occupied until her death at the age of 89. She is survived by 8 children – four sons and four daughters – 23 grandchildren and 18 Great Grandchildren. Two daughters are unmarried, the other two are Mrs H. Taylor of Wellington, and Mrs W. D. Buttle of Mt. Eden. The sons are W. F. Nicholson of MANGAWHARE, KAIPARA; Mr. Charles Nicholson of Newton, Mr. Oliver Nicholson of Auckland and Mr. Alfred Nicholson of WANGANUI. — New Zealand Herald, 9 August 1918 This lady arrived here with her husband the late Mr William Nicholson from California 62 years ago, and first settled on a farm at MANGANUI. About 50 years ago the family moved to Auckland and she has resided in Pitt St, in the same house ever since. Deceased died at the advanced age of 89 years. Both Mr and Mrs Nicholson were attendants at Pitt St. Methodists Church, and were one of the pioneers of Auckland. — The Auckland Star, 9 August 1918
Bernie Nicholson (pers comm, 10 May 2002) notes that an obituary for Oliver Nicholson in the Freemason's magazine says that Emma and William met in England; Emma and William are buried in the Symond Street cemetery in Auckland. 1.1.2.1.2.1.3 Joseph Fish (1833…1899) m1. Clara Ann Johns(c1842…1868-71); m2. Mary Jane Ponsford (1847…1933)
Joseph Fish, born 1833 at Cutcombe to farmer GEORGE FISH and his wife JOAN, married Clara Ann Johns in Bristol in 1859; Clara bore Joseph six children. Clara had been born in Bristol about 1842; her mother was MARY ANN JOHNS, born about 1808 in Dulverton SOM. Clara bore Joseph at least five children:

JAMES FISH (born 29 March 1860, baptised 3 June 1860, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol),
CLARA ANN FISH (born 22 November 1861, baptised 26 January 1862, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol),

EMILY ANNIE FISH (baptised 9 April 1865, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol) and
JOSEPH FISH (born 26 June 1868, baptised 20 September 1868, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol).

The 1861 census shews Joseph and Clara with her mother in Bristol:
The 1871 census shews Joseph a widower in Bristol: (St Philip & Jacob, Bristol / 4 Glo'ster Lane; parish: St Philip [RG10, Piece 2556, Folio 83, Page 23, Household 122])[GSU# 835264]
A brewer, Joseph remarried at Llangyfelach GLA in 1871, his second wife being his former housekeeper Mary Jane Ponsford, born in Westbury, Gloucestershire, in 1847, the daughter of ANN. Mary bore Joseph another six children:

JOE FISH (born 23 August 1873, baptised 21 September 1873, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol; married Lily and emigrated to Cape Town RSA; daughter Marjorie married Fred),
EDITH MARY FISH (born 25 June 1875, baptised 18 July 1875, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol; married Vaughan),
GEORGE FISH (born 19 July 1877, baptised 12 August 1877, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol; married Eliza),
JAMES FISH (born 30 April 1881, baptised 29 May 1881, St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol; died in infancy),
FLORENCE FISH (born circa 1883; married Peyton (who died 1920, IRL); emigrated to Transvaal RSA) and,
ADELAIDE/ADELINE FISH (born circa 1888; married Bernard Dale).

The 1881 census shews the following:

George Fish, baptised January 1836 at Cutcombe SOM, was the youngest known child of farmer GEORGE FISH and his wife JOAN(Y) CROCKFORD. A blacksmith aged 21 years, George emigrated to New South Wales aboard the Zemindar, arriving in Sydney on 23 August 1857, the ship's logs recording his native place as Dunster and Gloucestershire, and his parents as George (deceased) and Johanna (living in Somersetshire). Un-married, he was an adherent of the Church of England and could read and write, and noted “a sister Mrs Jane Garratt living near the Hunter” (on the NSW mid-north coast).
George spent much of his life at Bathurst NSW, setting up a blacksmith at the Village (Perthville). George married Mary O'Riley at Sts Michael and John's Roman Catholic church in Bathurst in August 1859, and by 1860 was able to purchase a block of land on the corner of Bentwick and Russell Streets where he started his Foundry, living in a house next to this in Bentwick Street. Mary bore George two children:

MARIA A FISH (born 1860, possibly died young) and
EMMA FISH (born 1862; married Michael Maloney/Moloney at Bathurst in 1886; may have moved to Balmain North in Sydney where was born George J Maloney (in 1890) and later to Paddington where were born Bartholomew Maloney (1892), James T Maloney (1894), Mary A Maloney (1895), Thomas M Maloney (born and died 1901) and Annie E Maloney (born 1902); the death of an Emma Mary Maloney, daughter of George and Mary, was registered in Sydney in 1943).

Mary Fish née O'Riley, daughter of JOHN and BRIDGET, died in October 1864, apparently in childbirth.
George remarried in August 1865 at Sts Michael and John's church, his second wife being Catherine Mackel. George was identified as a widower blacksmith aged 28, born in England of George Fish and Johanna Crockford; Catherine was noted as a spinster servant aged 22, Irish-born of HUGH MACKEL and MARY CORRIGAN; George and Catherine were residents of Bathurst. Catherine and her sister Bridget Mackel (who married Patrick Larkin at Bathurst in 1864) had come from Fermanagh as part of the famed government sponsored “Female Emigrant” scheme; Catherine's son Joseph often talked of their passage as dreadfully rough. A group of these Irish girls was sent to two hostels in Bathurst, Catherine to the one at 96 Russell Street, many years later to be the home of her son Joseph and his wife Elizabeth.

[Note: Mary Townsend eMailed [tnsd@bigpond.com, 26 February 2009] that she has a WebSite assembling Mackel family data: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mackells/. Caroline Nicholson, researching Catherine Mackel, lives in New Zealand and is descended from Emma Fish, daughter of George Fish and first wife Mary O'Riley.]
George and Catherine's marriage was very productive, with some twelve issue [note: the years noted are years of registration; event years may differ slightly]:

JOSEPH FISH (born 1866, died 1952; married Elizabeth Cunningham (1863…1946) in 1896; their son George Frederick Fish married Mary ?Delaney?; their son John Fish, a plumber, was the father of GC (Chris) Fish [married Vanessa] and brother of Terry),
MARY FISH (born and died 1867),
HUGH H FISH (born 1869, died 16 October 1928; married Johanna Mockler in 1894 at Bathurst; four issue),
GEORGE FISH (born 1870, died 21 April 1913, aged 42, Bathurst),
JOHN FISH (born 1872, died 1937, Bathurst; married Mary Alice Riley in 1898 at Bathurst; five issue),
CATHERINE FISH (born 1874, died 1875 aged 1 year three months, Bathurst),
ELIZABETH JANE FISH (“Nance”; born 1876; married Alfred Williams; one daughter),
ELIZA FISH (born 1878; became “Mother Adrian” (of Sisters of Charity)),
CATHERINE FISH (born 1879, died 1881, Bathurst),
TERESA FISH (born 1882; never married; living at Peak Hill NSW in 1937),
RACHEL FISH (born 1883; never married; living in Melbourne in 1937) and
HARRIET C FISH (born 1886; known as “Alley”; married Joseph Cannon at Bathurst in 1907).

[The 1937 obituary of John Fish notes one brother and five sisters attending John's funeral, viz: Joseph Fish (Bathurst), Emma (Mrs. Maloney, of Hornsby), Nance (Mrs. Williams, of Cremorne), Alice (Mrs. Cannon, of Bulgandramine) and Misses Theresa Fish (Peak Hill), and Rachel Fish (Melbourne).]
Margaret Ford wrote in November 2000: The four sons worked with their father in what was to become a flourishing business, making Farm Implements and Machinery, Coaches, Windmills and later Water Pumps. A Stand was had at the Bathurst A. H. & P. Show since its inception, right up until the Foundry closed in the late 1880s. George ensured his family had a good education, the sons attending St Stanislaus' College Bathurst after finishing their primary education. The younger sons went through College before Joseph (as was often the case : George 1878-81, John 1879-83, Hugh 1882-85 and Joseph 1885-90), who became the Manager after his father's death in 1901. At one time George employed 125 men, in the workshop and out on the farms, etc. … It was told that George was the first person in Australia to manufacture the single furrow mulboard plough. One is still in existence, and is the proud possession of my brother Joseph Sullivan of Shingle Hut, Freemantle Road, Bathurst. … The business of G Fish & Sons passed on to Joseph's sons in the 1940s … Of Joseph's sons, George Frederick was the Manager until his death in 1980, when his son John left to establish his own business. Frederick's eldest son Terence remained at the rear of the old workshop, concentrating on the wholesaling and retailing of grain and stock feeds. Warwick Fish joined his father Terry in the family business, followed by Kent in 1989. In 1999 a decision was made to move back into the larger sections of the old premises and increase the range of products handled by T Fish & Sons.

An obituary appeared in The Bathurst Times of Thursday 14 November 1901 : Mr George Fish Senior It is with regret we have to announce the death of Mr George Fish, the sad event occurring this morning about 10 o'clock. For several months past Mr. Fish had been feeling unwell, but stuck to his work until 5 weeks ago, when he was compelled to take to his bed. He never recovered, despite the untiring efforts of medical skill and untiring nursing, and passed away this morning. Deceased was a man who was greatly respected by all who knew him, and was a native of Somersetshire England. He was 64 years of age, and came to this state in 1857 when he was engaged with Messers Chapman Brothers of this town. In 1862 he commenced business on his own account, making a reputation for ability and integrity that may well be envied. Deceased leaves a widow, 4 sons and 6 daughters, all of whom will have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock.
Following George's death Catherine lived with her son Joseph, his wife and young family, until her death in November 1913.

Lesley Hayward née Yates-Fish, formerly Carter [, 23 jan2008] asked:

The Bell, Gloucester Lane, Bristol: I am trying to trace The Bell in Gloucester Lane Bristol. My Gt Gt Grandfather Gregory Fish was a maltster and brewer there from 1834-1852 when he died. His wife Harriet [née Ward] ran the place from 1853-1858 and then their brother? Joseph Fish seems to have taken over.
Gregory and Harriet's son Joseph Perrett Fish became a Chemist.
Can anyone tell me whether The Bell still exists and if not what happened to it?

Lesley, granddaaughter of Joseph William Perrett Fish and Ann Yates of Bristol and Hastings respectively, living near Monmouth, Herefordshire [“ashfish” on Rootsweb's Fish message board] noted [05aug2008]:

My ancestors on my father's side are descended from the Fish family who seemed to live in and around Stogursey, Somerset from about 1690 until the 1800s. I wold love to hear from anyone who knows anything about these people [family tree on genes reunited]. The name implies they were fishermen or fish sellers and Stogursey isn't far from the sea but Gregory Fish moved to Bristol to become a publican/Hotel Keeper with his wife and their son Joseph Perrett Fish became a Chemist [my gt grandfather]. Joseph married into the Yates family of Hastings [also Hoteliers].

1.1.2.1.2.5.1 Henry Fish (1842…1931) m. Letitia Shepherd (1844…192?)

Henry Fish of Bilbrooke, born at Stogumber about 1842, and baptised thereat in March 1842, was the son of farmer JOSEPH FISH and MARRIANNE BREWER.

Henry's wife Letitia Shepherd was the daughter baptised at West Quantoxhead in October 1844 to yeoman JAMES and PRISCILLA SHEPHERD; she predeceased Henry who died in 1931 aged 89 years. Their 1881 census entry notes as "sister" [to Henry] an Amelia Jane Shepherd Fish, aged 40 years: Amelia Jane Shepherd was actually a sister to Letitia, baptised at West Quantoxhead on 21 July 1840. Letitia's other siblings included Mary Ann Shepherd (baptised at West Quantoxhead on 14 September 1841) and Sarah Shepherd (baptised at West Quantoxhead on 26 March 1843).

Henry and Letitia had at least five children:

FLORENCE MARY FISH (born circa 1880, Litlestock SOM; married Thomas Barrington Perrett),
JOSEPH SHEPHERD FISH (born circa 1881; of Cross Farm, Over Stowey in 1931; died 7 February 1948; married Florence Jane Duckham [marriage registered at Taunton DEV in second quarter of 1912]),
ELLA LETITIA FISH (born 1882; died 11 February 1952),
HELEN A FISH (born circa 1887) and
MARY FISH (born circa 1888; died 20 February 19?? [post 1930]).

Letitia died March 192?. Henry Fish, retired farmer, apparently died in August 1931, aged 89 years. It is believed that Ella and Mary were the Misses Fish of Bilbrooke referred to in Amy Crockford's 1951 letter to Alice Hagley; Max Dunscombe remembered them as elderly ladies whom he visited with his mother. Henry directed his estate be disposed as follows :

This is the Last Will and Testament of me Henry Fish of Bilbrooke in the parish of Old Cleeve in the County of Somerset

MARY J FISH (born circa 1842) and
JOSEPH FISH (born circa 1843; died 1881; married Julia; at least two issue).

Matthew Ernest Dunscombe's brothers included E J Dunscombe and O W Dunscombe, and a sister was Adeliza Dunscombe. Matthew and Gertie produced one son:

MATTHEW EDWIN DUNSCOMBE (Max) (married Eleanor Mary Owens).

Gertie seems to have maintained a strong attachment to Coombe Farm, often taking her son Matthew there when he was a child. Max was often at Coombe Farm visiting his “Auntie Annie” (Annie Hagley, daughter of Mary (Polly) Crockford and Thomas Hagley; born September 1870 and died March 1951).

2. Mary Fish (c1803…) m Thomas Triggoll (c1802…1869)

Thomas Triggoll married Mary Fish at Over Stowey SOM on 26 March 1828. Ann Triggol married William Seally of Nether Stowey at Over Stowey on 5 November 1828. Alexander [Conybeare] Fish, son of JOSEPH FISH and ELIZABETH PERRETT, married Elizabeth Stone at Over Stowey on 14 June 1829.

It is very tempting to consider Mary Fish and Alexander Fish as siblings: indeed, Joseph and Elizabeth Perrett did have a daughter Mary baptised at Kilve in 1796. However census records consistently indicate Mary Triggoll née Fish had been born about 1802 at Over Stowey [there were no Fish CoE baptisms at Over Stowey in this period] so unless Joseph and Elizabeth had another perhaps non-CoE Mary circa 1802 [so far no supporting record has been found] this does not appear a valid construction [note however that Joseph and Elizabeth had children Jane baptised 1801 at Kilve and Ann baptised 1804 at Cutcombe, so it may be possible a Mary was born in the interim].

Thomas and Mary had at least seven children:

ELIZABETH TRIGGOLL (born circa 1828, baptised 3 August 1828 at Over Stowey (father noted as a labourer from Ely),
GEORGE TRIGGOL (born circa 1831, baptised 30 October 1831 at Stogursey (father noted as a farmer from Monkton)),
MARY ANN TRIGGOL (born circa 1834, baptised 18 April 1834 at Stogursey (father noted as a farmer from Idson or Itson),
ELLEN JANE TRIGGOLL (born circa 1836, baptised 31 October 1836 at Stogursey (father noted as a farmer from Itson Farm in the parish of Stogursey),
THOMAS TRIGGOLL (born/baptised 14 September 1839 at Williton SOM; married Emily Govett),
JOHN TRIGGOLL (born circa 1842) and
JOSEPH TRIGGOLL (born circa 1844).

The 1841 census has the following:
