Mary Fysh

Mary Fysh (d. 1801) joined the Baptist congregation at Maze Pond on 2 December 1796, coming from the Baptist congregation at Cirencester. Her husband was Boswell Beddome’s business partner in Fenchurch Street, London. She died on 7 March 1804.  Mrs. Fysh was also a friend of Robert Hall and may have had connections with the Baptist congregation at St. Andrew’s Street. A notice in the Cambridge Intelligencer on 28 November 1801 informed the public that a “Mrs. Fysh, daughter of Mr. Christopher Fysh of Lyon, died on Thursday sennight at her brother’s house in Camberwell.” See Maze Pond Church Book, vol. 2, 1784-1821, Angus Library, Regent’s Park College, Oxford, fols. 18, 155, 255; also Olinthus Gregory, ed., The Works of Robert Hall, A.
