WISHER (GOONS #3832)

[Newstead62]

My one name study is the surname WISHER, which is predominantly a Midlands name.

I have managed to trace the line back to the late 1600s to east Nottinghamshire.  Various off-shoots migrated into the adjacent counties of Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire, and into London.

Variant spellings I've discovered - WHISHER, WISSAW, WISSER, WISHSHAW, WISHEAR, WISHAW.
