The Visitation of the County of Somerset in the year 1623 (Harleian Society, bound as vols 11–12 with the Visitation of Warwickshire 1619) — read at the surname FISH for House Fish. FINDING: no Fish appears anywhere in the SOMERSET half; every Fish the volume carries is in the WARWICKSHIRE half bound with it, and is 'Walteri Fish de London' marrying into the Hales of Newland pedigree. Recorded at index strength, NOT page-verified: the Somerset volume has no index of names of its own
