A name first introduced to British shores in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066, ‘Fisher’ features prominently in the historical record.
• While some gained fame as ardent Royalists during the seventeenth century English Civil War, others came to prominence through much more peaceful endeavours and pursuits.
• In the world of politics, from starting work at the age of only ten in the dangerous sweat and grime of the Ayrshire coalfields, Andrew Fisher rose to serve as Australia’s Prime Minister on three occasions between 1908 and 1915 after immigrating there as a young man.
