[woodley]

hi its me again,.. i am now thanks to all on here progressing pretty well with this family name fisher, i would just like to ask of you all some advice,.. nathaniel gamble fisher 1833 dublin married emily Mc donnell, now his father is listed as JAMES FISHER, well i have been looking for the father james fisher which i estimate as being born about 1809 or 1812, now the only james i can find is born 1817 dublin but this would make him only 17 at nathaniels birth , surely way too young!!!, or do you think this james is wrong.
thankyou all

If you check the 1901 census record posted in one of your other threads for Nathaniel Gamble Fisher, he says he is born in Londonderry - so that's where you need to look now.

Hello,
I am researching my x2 great grandfather, NATHANIEL GAMBLE FISHER, whom, according to the 1901 census and death record, was born in Londonderry in about 1825 and was a Presbyterian.
 
Could you advise how I may research to find his birth record? I went to the (London)Derry website, trying to find the Presbyterian Church records contact, but no luck. The other administrative email bounced back.
 
Here are his details:
NATHANIEL GAMBLE FISHER
Born abt 1825 in Londonderry Town
Religion: Presbyterian (married Emily McDonnell in Dublin in Church of Ireland)
Father: James Fisher
Mother: Unknown
Death: 1901 in Dublin
 
Any help or suggestions that you can give is most appreciated. I am a descendant of Alice Fisher (NATHANIEL AND EMILY MCDONNELL'S daughter) and Ernest John Lesware .... Eileen Victoria Leslie.
 
Kind regards,
Sharon Smillie

Civil registration of births only started in Ireland in 1864.
For earlier dates you will have to look for baptisms in church records.

Civil registration of non-Catholic Marriages started in 1845, and in 1864 for all marriages and deaths.

There's a record of a marriage of an Ernest John LESWARE to Emily Margaret FISHER on 25 March 1885 at St Mary's Parish Church, Dublin. One of the witnesses was Nathaniel G Fisher (father or brother?).
