My Great Great Grandparents were William Fisher and Mary Fisher (nee Harlow). I believe they were both born (1819) and later married (1843) in Godmanchester. William was an agricultural labourer who in his latter years became a shepherd. William and Mary had several children, (George was my Great Grandfather). By the 1861 census, the family had moved to Gosberton and lived in Wargate Way. By the time the 1871 Census was done, George Fisher had left home.
The rootspoint.com 1871 Census details show the Fishers living at Lake of Cambridge. This is wrong. It should be the Duke of Cambridge.
William Fisher was a man born in 1819 in Huntingdonshire. During the 1871 UK Census he was 52 years old and lived in Lincolnshire. He appears as the head of his house in the 1871 UK Census.

The 1881 Census shows William and Mary living in West Street. He is a shepherd.
William must have died before 1891 as only Mary is shown on the Census and living on Widows’ Row.
