Would someone be so kind and look up Fisher's in the 1861-1881 census.

Children that I know of are:
Peter Fisher:  b. abt. 1861 Rothesay, Bute
Margaret Fisher:  b. abt. 1859 Canada
Jessie Lucy Fisher:  b. abt. 1871 Rothesay?

Hi Aley

These are the children showing on IGI for John and Margaret:

1. PETER FISHER  Birth: 29 DEC 1861 Rothesay, Bute, Scotland
2. JESSIE LUCY FISHER Birth: 20 OCT 1872 Blythswood, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

If no one has access to the census info you need, you can view census info (1841-1901) and BDM data from the official Scottish pay to view site Scotlands People at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Regards.

Thank You, Monica and Nell

Looks like the right family.  I am a little confused with John & Margaret son John's middle name.  Could his name be John Jamieson R ( for Robert) Fisher.
Would like to know where Peter was in 1881. May be working somewhere.

Could someone check to see if the Fisher family was living in the same place on the 1871 census.

Thanks Aley
