One of my very first relatives came from Westmeath she was born in 1831 and immigrated to Australia somewhere between 1831-1855
If anyone knows of some good ways to look up some records or has any info I would be greatly appreciative
Thanks

Hello Thorgils,Fisher does not appear to be a very common name in the Westmeath area---Even in the 1911 census there is only one listed for Westmeath !!!& looking back to the Griffith's Valuation there are only two listed -Thomas in the parish of Killua & Henry in the parish of Newtown,so these area's may be a starting point for your research.Regards Nipy

Hi again Nipy, I just found a quote pertaining to Athlone which is not far from Westmeath, Going to try and track some down some more info with some luck 
Looks as though she was born 1831!

Any chance you can post the website you got the info from Nipy???
The search on census comes up negative when I search for Henry Fisher?

Hello again Thorgils,sorry I didn't get back to you sooner (only just seen you reply) Really glad it's got you on a hunting trail. Will have a scout around to see if I can see any more leads----can I ask did Margaret's parents also go to Australia? --regards Nipy

hmmm I looked and found Henry Fisher in Ballymaglaff, Down not so sure that it was her father as he was only 18 at the time. Back to the drawing board

Sorry Folks --old Nipy has confused everyone again----when I mentioned the 1911 census ---what I was meaning to get across was there isn't many Fisher's living in Westmeath at that time, there was only one I could see ( & that was a widow woman)---Regards old Dippy Nipy

5 matches for the search criteria: Fisher (plus variants) Margaret 1827-1835
Action Source Surname First Name Year County
Church Baptism Fisher Margaret Anne 1827 Co. Derry
Church Baptism Fisher Margaret 1829 Co. Cavan
Church Baptism Fisher Margaret 1829 Co. Cavan
Church Baptism Fisher Margaret 1830 Co. Cork
Church Baptism Fisher Margaret 1830 Co. Cork
Seems that there is some confusion on her DOB looks like I might have to invest and buy her death certificate and hope that it has the more detailed information I want.
No confusion Nipy just Thorgils not reading carefully before going on a wild goose chase

Back again!! what I have noticed on the IFHF site , there is one family with the father's name Henry living in the Athlone area but the time scale is well out!! he has a daughter Margaret born 1846,son John b. 1848,daughter Mary b.1850---I think hunt around the area of Tyreallspass/Newtown--as you say back to the drawing board---Nipy
