Samuel FISK - Baptism Lookup Please

[dangerous3011]

Hi,
Is there anyone who may be going to Ipswich SRO soon? I am trying to find a baptism for Samuel Fisk born 25 May 1847 at Plomesgate Union Workhouse, Wickham Market. His birth cert lists his mother as Mary Fisk but no fathers name so I am hoping there may be a baptism entry. If there isn't I would like to know if there may be anything in the workhouse records (would the minutes have any record?) or the bastardy sessions. Thanks for any offers. Bryan.

Hi Bryan,

Might be a bit obvious and apologies if you have already tried, but have you checked Hugh's web site ?

Hugh has the definitive Fisk/e web site for all of us looking for our Fisk ancestors, also has links to all the other Fisk web site's   

all best wishes

Thanks for the suggestion but yes I have. This site does list Samuel but has him confused with another Samuel Fisk born about the same time (I think there may be three of them). His mother married John Scrutton who was a bricklayer and Samuel became his labourer. After moving to Lambeth he was also a bricklayer. One of the other Samuel Fisk's coincidently moved to Lambeth at the same time but he was a coach trimmer. This site also says his mother was illegitimate but I am not sure if this is correct.

If you ever find your Fisk's travelling the short distance to Framlingham - give me a shout 

I wish you good luck with the search Bryan
