Peter Fisken, a descendant of Patrick Fisken, b.abt.1699 in Tibbermore, Perthshire, Scotland and Jean Dron, was born in Cabbage Bazaar, Glasgow, Scotland in 1839, emigrated to New Zealand in the year 1864 on the cargo ship Gladiator. While in Auckland he married Grace Bryson, also from Scotland,on the first of March 1866. Shortly thereafter they travelled to Gore in the South Island where they settled , eventually buying a block of farm land which is still owned & farmed by Charles Fisken, a third generation descendant. Information to date, 22 April 2005 has been gathered from family members still living, from Peter Fisken of High Craighton Farm Cottage, Milngarvie, Glasgow, G627HA, and from the research done by Donald Clyde Fisken & his wife Margaret, presented under the title of "The Fisken Heritage" dated 1986. Many thanks are due to them for the information on our Australian connections. In addition I have added a Genealogy Report for the known Canadian & American descendants of John Fisken and Helen Wilson. You will find John & Helen in both groups. This is a valuable link and much of the information was supplied by Mary Ellen Kurth(nee Fisken) My thanks to her also. There is so much more we need to research & record, both to do with the past & the present (the family is still expanding ) and all contributions will be gratefully accepted. We are all growing older (I am 74) and sadly, once we depart this life, our memories, unless recorded, are gone forever. Please help if you can.
