To find the cause of Henrys death you would have to purchase his death certificate

Strange as no one has an Occp shown.

1881 they are still at 40 Canal Row, John is a Tailor born c 1807, Wisbech.
Harriet is Widowed and now says she was born 1829 Walsoken, Norfolk.
Which leads us too;

1841 Census

Walsoken, Norfolk
HO107/770/11/Walsoken
John FISHER, 35, Taylor (tailor)
Susannah, 30
Harriet, 11

All down as born in County

1851 Census is very hard to find but have managed too, half of the image is missing on Anc;

1851 Census
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire
HO107/1766/453/27
Henry, 12, Son
Frederic, 11 Son
Ellen, Daug (Image bit with age missing)
JOHN W, 4, Son
George T, 2, Son
And on another page,
Index has;
John FISHER, 49, born Wisbech
Susan, 41, born Cambs, Wisbech, Outwell!!!
Eliza, 15, born Walsoken, Norfolk
George T, 2, Son, born Wisbech
I cant access this at all.

OK, Ellen Fisher is age 6, born Walsoken and is down as the Daug of Edward Thickpenny

Anyone with FindMyPast able to find this Family please
