New South Wales Birth - Henry Herbert FISHER

[sandyburgess]

I have been trying to locate the birth registration of my great grandfather Henry Herbert FISHER. I have looked on the NSW online index and he is not registered.
Henry was born in Mudgee, New South Wales in about 1870 and his parents are Charles FISHER and Emily O'NEILL.

On Henry's marriage certificate he was married to Nellie Whittaker in Cloncurry, Queensland in 1892 and he was 22 years and his occupation was Miner. According to family history Henry also was boxer and he fought under the name of "Henry MATTHEWS"

According to the electoral rolls Henry and Nellie moved to Brisbane for a couple of years and then they appeared in Boulder City Western Australia where my grandfather was born in 1908. According to family history he owned a shop or general store and it was called FISHER'S store.

In the 1922 electoral rolls Henry and Nellie lived in Northern Territory and had property or worked the property at 21/2 mile creek. I know that Nellie started up a boarding house in Mataranka after Henry died. This information has been mentioned in a book.

Many thanks

Hi Sandy,

Welcome to Rootchat... Lots of friendly people here, all interested in family history searchings.

On the Electoral Roll for 1870 there's the following entry for Mudgee:
William FISHER, residence at Burrundulla.   

I haven't spotted Charles Fisher yet, but I'm looking....


Cheers,  JM

Hello  there Sandy and welcome to Rootschat,
Thanks for giving us such a detailed account of Henry's background.

I searched the NSW  BDM site using a few wildcards and really came up with nothing. 

No other children born  to that couple or any leads,  it is possible of course that his birth may never have been registered.

I shall look interstate to see if anything may give us a lead.

I'm still looking for Henry's family in and around Mudgee-Rylstone district in the 1870's.....

A strong possility that is true but not a proven sister for Henry, or even  correct parents

I tried using Fischer and Fisher to no avail.   I cannot see a likely marriage at all either.

If Charles Fisher was say Carl Fischer  his wifes name may also be bastardised in some way.  Drawing from my own experience  ( which can be boring for others)   My gggparents married in Queensland and the certificate says the mothers name was Marion Hetzler but in fact it was Marion Edsall.  So we do so often come across misstransprictions of names due to accents of  the person saying the name to the register or  the person giving the name not having  correct knowledge of  the spelling of the actual name.
