I'm researching the ffitch family, starting with my great grandmother Alice ffitch, who was born in 1852 in London. She married Henry John Hayes in 1874 in London.
Her father was Charles ffitch, born 1814, in Felsted, Essex, who married Ann Perry in 1837 at St George Hanover Square, London.
His parents were Samuel and Elizabeth ffitch of Felsted. Elizabeth died in 1852, a widow, and I don't know their birth or marriage dates.
I have been told that there is a lot of ffitch information at the Essex Record Office at Chelmsford, but I have not yet had an opportunity to go there.
