unknown Fysh
Christopher Fysh
born circa 1742
died 29 August 1822 1
buried 19 September 1822, St. Margarets, Lynn 2
Notes:
On the 19th September 1822 Christopher Fysh, Gentleman, of Tower
Street, aged 80, was buried in St. Margaret's, Lynn. This would give
him a birth date of approximately 1742.

On 12th July 1760 Christopher Hewitt, woolen draper of Kings Lynn,
made his will. Here he provided for 'the maintenance of my son John
Hewitt who is under the misfortune of Lunacy and now in Norwich
Bethlam for and during his natural life' under the supervision of 'Ann
Fysh the wife of Thomas Fysh of Cockley Cley, Thatcher' and after
the death of his son his property in Lynn was left to 'Christopher Fysh
son of the aforesaid Ann Fysh'.

This suggests to me that Christopher Fysh was probably apprenticed
to Christopher Hewitt who was probably a relation. There is no record
of such an apprenticeship amongst the Kings Lynn records, or among
those of the Inland Revenue Apprenticeship Tax records in the Public
Record Office, but, in the latter case there, would have been no tax to
be paid if there were only a nominal premium paid which was often
the case between relatives.

In the Cockley Cley parish registers there is an entry for 1742:
bapt Dec 5 Xper Fish of Thos & Ann
which most probably refers to this Christopher Fysh. I am trying, how-
ever to gather a little more conclusive evidence (with little success so
far!) before connecting these two families up.

Notes: I cannot now find where I found the baptism of this child, presumably
in the registers of St. Margarets, Lynn. The burial date and age seems
to suit her.
