Hi Jere, if your great grandad William was born in 1854, he wouldn't show up on the 1841 or 1851 census's. I have found several Fisher's on the 1851 census for Winsford, so if you know the name of his parents or siblings, perhaps I can help.

I did find one William Fisher, but he was aged 2, so would have been born about 1849.

hello Di.
               The only info i have at the moment is that william fisher in the 1881 census says age 36 but now on the 1901 census he is aged 52 he is a railway labourer.
that does make him being born in 1849 i have no info on his parents or if he had any siblings i will have to try and locate a marriage cert from the rhondda valley area or pontypridd.to see what his fathers name is
   if you can help in any way it is much appreciated.
      jere.
