Hopper, Douthwaite, Fisher - Malton area 1800's
« on: Tuesday 08 January 19 04:45 GMT (UK) »
Hello! In the 1980's my dad traced our Fisher lineage back to Richard Fisher of Easingwold, christened in 1667, married Ann Hew in 1691, and then forward to the 1850's, but we have nothing since then, so no knowledge of present-day relatives. Looking for descendants of my great-grandfather's (Henry Fisher, born 1828 in York) four siblings:
Thomas Fisher (untraceable so far), Charlotte, Hannah and Jane Fisher. Charlotte and Hannah married two Hopper brothers. Charlotte and Robert Hopper of Kenneythorpe had a son, Henry Fisher Hopper, chr. March 5 1848, and daughter Jane, chr. Feb 10, 1850.  Hannah and John Hopper had a daughter, Agnes, born in Malton 1853 (recorded in 1861 as living with her grandmother, Ann Fisher, at Kennythorpe).  Jane married William Douthwaite  (a schoolmaster) in Scampston, and in the 1851 census had a son Charles age 1 and daughter Annie age 7 months.  And then the lineage stops!  If anyone can fill in the blanks of the next generations of Hoppers and Douthwaites, please kindly let me know.  I also have further dates for Fishers of Easingwold in the 1700's (though I think the Fisher line may have died out back then), and marriage dates for the siblings listed above, if helpful.  Thanks!

Thank you so much everyone for your quick and detailed responses!  I'm thrilled to receive all this information.  I'm also happy to see that I may have some relatives living here in Canada, not just in the UK.  I appreciate your help very much!
