Biography

Birth & Baptism 1856 Scorborough

Sarah Faith Fisher was born in 1856 in Scorborough by Leconfield where her father was also born. ^{[1] [2]}

A Big Family and a Big Pub 1861 Cranswick

In 1861 her parents Samuel and Elizabeth Fisher are running the Londesborough Arms in Cranswick, a big pub just off the main road from Beverley to Driffield and on to Bridlington and Scarborough. The three oldest children are helping to run the pub, while the younger five are at school, though this seems a bit doubtful in the case of Lucy, just 8 months old. It also seems unlikely that the middle children would escape work if the pub was busy, but Sarah at age 5 probably could escape, provided that she kept herself and her baby sister out of the way and out of trouble. ^[3]

A Big Family and a Big Pub 1861 Cranswick

In 1861 Samuel and Elizabeth Fisher have eight children with them in the Londesborough Arms, Cranswick, a big pub just off the main road from Beverley to Driffield and on to Bridlington and Scarborough. The three oldest children are helping to run the pub, while the younger five are at school, though this seems a bit unlikely in the case of Lucy, just 8 months old. ^[4]

Spinster 1881 Hutton Cranswick

In 1881 Samuel and Elizabeth Fisher have recently retired from the Londesboro Arms Hutton Cranswick, but are still living there with four adult children. Only one member of the household, Robert 31 is employed, as a farm manager. The three daughters are described as spinsters which in 1881 in East Yorkshire just means unmarried.. ^[5]

Saraf Faith Fisher died late in 1920, in Cranswick, East Yorkshire. Only her youngest sister survived her. The rest of the family were already dead. ^[6]
