Francis Fysh tailor and woollen draper of Kings Lynn born before 1754 1 died 1809 2 buried 6 June 1809, All Saints, South Lynn will dated 27 April 1808 and proved 2 September 1809, Norwich Consistory Court to George Peek and James Parlett Saddleton Notes: according to the Estate Duty Register (PRO) he had seven children living at the time of his death but they are unfortunatelly not listed. Only one child, Jane Plowright, is mentioned by name - the rest are simply lumped together under the heading 'Six Legatees - children'. I have been unable so far to find his antecedents. There are several other Fysh families in Lynn at this time and I would guess that Christopher Fysh is probably his brother, both having come to Lynn from elsewhere (unknown) in Norfolk. The reasons I guess at this relationship I have given here.
