 Relationships

• How is Mary Fisher 1577-1645 related to Thomazine Banks Fisher 1559-1625?
• How is Elizabeth Katherine Banks 1627-1686 related to Thomazine Banks Fisher 1559-1625?
• Sources suggest that Alexander Fisher, 1540-1579, and Katherine Maplesden, 1553-1590, are the parents of both Mary Fisher and Thomazine Fisher, but this can't be true because Thomazine is Mary's mother-in-law.

b. Maidstone, Kent, England
d. St. Bride's Parish, London, England

Thomazine Fisher, mother of John Christopher Banks, is the mother-in-law of Mary Fisher and grandmother of Elizabeth Katherine Banks.

UNLESS: Mary Fisher is not the wife of John Christopher Banks 1593-1650 and mother of  Elizabeth Katherine Banks 1627-1686. Instead, Janet Royall 1607-1627 is named in the records of John Christopher Banks 1593-1650 and as the mother of Elizabeth Katherine Banks 1627-1686. In this case, Mary is not the daughter in law pf Thomazine but perhaps related some other way.
