Can anyone please enlighten on these names? I have Thomas Fisher b. 1798 in Bushey nr Watford. He had at least 2 sons with, I think, the above; Thomas and William 1821, 1826. She must have died before his second marriage, to Charlotte Andrews, in 1831.

Thank you. I find Thomas's second marriage and family are well documented. His first appears to be something of a mystery.

best to stick to this one where there already replies, JEC:

"Jemima Flowers married Thomas Fisher at Watford in 1814. It's possible that she is the 'Saba, 'Jaba' I have previously asked about. But, I can find no other information. Please help if you can."

Hi Argyllgran
I received info. re Saba and Jaba from a posting on 'Roots Chat' which, at the moment, I can't find.

Hi Chris Ho
That is so, so interesting. The family story has always been that my maternal ancestors were Romanies. I've looked at lots of traveller sites without success. I haven't come across the one you quote.

Thomas Fisher and Charlotte had Sarah who married David King then William Wells. The later were my great grandparents. My mother remembers going out with her grandfather, ie W. Wells, mending cane chairs. I've printed off your info for further perusal. Thanks. JEC
