  • Edward Fisher b.1792 was John's wife's (Susanna Elisabeth Fisher's) father. 

    If John Arnold were your grandfather x3, you'd have to descend from one of their 10 children. 

    What were your father's and mother's names, maybe I can find you in my family tree ...

  • Thanks Roz, I've added their details. Any more from your grandparents and parents? 

    My family tree is on My Heritage.

    After many years a cousin in Ireland helped me trace John Arnold b.1825 back to Donaghadee, two more Johns and the Ulster Scots - if you visit there sometime.
