Hewitt Fysh 1 of Camberwell 2 born circa 1767 3 died 1811 buried 19 April 1811, Meeting House, Maze Pond, Southwark 4 Notes: he was named as one of the executors in the will of Francis Fysh, tailor of Lynn, dated 1808. According to JPG Fysh he was, by 1792, already a junior partner in Beddome, Fysh & Co., drapers in Fenchurch Street, London. (info: Goodbye Norfolk, I must leave you, by JPG and AVGA Fysh, an article in the Norfolk Ancestor, Vol 3, part 7, December 1984. No sources or references are provided for any of the statements in this article) A note in the Maze Pond Baptist Chapel records states that he was elected a deacon on 7th July 1800. (Source: Fysh collection of the research of JPG Fysh, in the Norfolk Family History Society's library in Norwich) The couple are said to have had four children, two of whom died in infancy. (Source: The Memorandum Book of the Rev. C.F. Chase, as transcribed in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica New Series Vol 2 page 158 (1877), brought to my attention by Laurence Chase) In his will (PCC, prob 11/1525) dated 15th July 1807 he leaves a life interest in £1400 to his father, Christopher Fysh, and after his, the father's, death, to any posthumous child which may be born to his wife. If none, the amount to be divided between his nephew and niece, Hewitt Fysh Turner and his sister Harriet Turner when they attain the age of 21 years or at marriage for the latter. He also mentions Mr Smith, his uncle, executor, and his wife's uncle, Mr J[ohn] Neale.

Frederick b.1807 Elizabeth Ann born and died 1808 Harriet 1809 - 1844

children of Hewitt and Elizabeth Ann Fysh Frederick Fysh 7 born 1807 born 24 November 1807, St Gyles, Camberwell, Surrey 8 baptized 26 July 1826, Saint Michael, Cambridge, Cambridge, England 9 buried 23 September 1880, St Peter, Walgrave, Northamptonshire 10 Notes: He was baptised 7 December 1807 in the Meeting House, Maze Pond, Southwark and then again as an adult into the Anglican church on the 26 July 1826 at Saint Michael, Cambridge. He was admitted a pensioner at Queens College, Cambridge Univesity on 22 Feb 1828, hatriculated 1828, BA 1832, MA 1835. He was in Holy Orders and was the author of: Catechism of the Apocoalypse A lyrical version fo the Psalms etc. Between 1840 - 1847 he lived at 2 Duke Street, Bath and in 1856 at 6 Lower Terrace, Torquay. In the Census of 1861 he was described as being aged 53, a clergyman with[out] the cure of souls, living at 4 Sion Row, Twickenham, in the family of his cousin, Samuel Chase, solicitor, of that address. ( I am indebted for this information to Laurence Chase) JPG Fysh' statement, in the article mentioned at the end of this note, that Frederick is listed in the Census of 1861 as being in Waldegrave aged 68, is thus proved mistaken (as that age might of its own suggest) but in 1871 he was living as a lodger in Waldgrave. Northamptonshire, aged 63, a clergyman of the Church of England without cure of souls, and one wonders equally over his assertion that he later emigrated to Australia. Kathleen Christmas in her Fysh family tree chart drawn up in 1983 gives him a daughter, Jane Fysh, with a son Hewitt Turner, no details or sources mentioned. This seems most unlikely. Venn's Alumni Cantabrigiense give his date of death as 1867. (from: J.A.Venn, Alum Cantab, part 2, vol 2 as transcribed by JPG Fysh in the Fysh collection in the Norfolk Family History Society's library in Norwich, and from: Goodbye London I Must Leave You, by John P. G. Fysh, published in the Norfolk Ancestor December 1984) Elizabeth Ann Fysh born and died 1808 born 4 October 1808 11 baptized Maze Pond Baptist, Southwark died October 1808 buried 26 October 1808, Meeting House, Maze Pond, Southwark Harriet Fysh 1809-1844 born 18 September 1809, St. Gyles, Camberwell 12 baptized 25 November 1832, Fen Stanton, Huntingdon 13 died 27 February 1844 14
