HEADSTONE
George Fisher, b 11 Mar 1834 Whitby Ontario, did 15 Jan 1901 Emsdale Ont, buried: Emanuel United Church Emsdale.
I don’t see a death registration for him. Don’t see one for Mary either.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/167139892/george-fisher This site also has information on both wives and children.
Gives 1861 as marriage to Mary Bice. Her parents and siblings are also listed.
George and Mary were married on 1861 census.
1891 census Emsdale George is listed as farmer.
I think there is a book written about Emsdale. It is an old book. May have information re your Fishers in it.
