Hello. It's my first day on Roots Chat and I'm trying to figure out how to post a query. I'm also a descendent of Sarah and Jeremiah, they were my 5x great grandparents, so hello cousins. I've visited the (new) bridge a few years ago, such a moving moment. I etched my initials on a stump of wood there.
Sarah Fisher had brothers Thomas and William, probably many more. I believe this Fisher family is somehow related to the Fishers of Adstock Buck and Aldenham Herts, although I'm still working on it to make the connection. The other Fisher family contains Stephen Fisher b1734 who married twice, Ann Harrup and Mary. Names include Elizabeth, Martha, Isaac, Moses, Aaron, William, Ann and Mary were his children, all born in or around Herts and Bucks, they were known Travellers. Sarah and Jeremiah had a son named Stephen, b1828 but this name doesn't seem to continue in the family after this. There was a Stephen Fisher (I think related to the Adstock/Aldenham family, living in Bushey (Clay Hill) and having been "removed" to Bushey around the 1840s. Sarah and Jeremiah married in Bovingdon Herts, very close to Aldenham and Bushey.
Jeremiah Taylor b1785 and died on Wimbledon Common after a fight in 1831 is, according to one persons research, the son of Nathaniel Taylor and Ann Loveridge, who married 20/10/1760 in Bucks. I believe that this could be a possible link to his family, but they had been married nearly 30 years by the time Jeremiah was born. Nathaniel was a corkcutter from Medmenham and Ann was from Whitchurch Dorset.
On an early Bushey census, was Nathaniel and Joannah Taylor, ne Cordwell who married in Bushey in 1810. I believe this could be Jeremiahs brother. I can find no evidence of his birth/baptism as yet.
Can anyone shed any light on any of these lines? Any help very welcome!
